Endings and Beginings...
May 18 2009
Today marks the end of an era.
Today is Graduation day at Bryn Mawr College.
Four, maybe Five years ago, it’s a bit hard to pin point.
It’s funny how your life can change.
Change and you don’t even notice it.
Won’t even realize, till you can look back upon it.
They came one by one, didn’t really see it until one day they all came at the same time. The door to the store burst open, and there they were. A chaotic cacophony of voices, talking, arguing. At first they were loud, annoying, but grudgingly I grew used to them. I listened to their questions, their opinions. Then bit by bit I grew fond of them, didn’t even notice, that I was waiting for them. I was looking forward to their visits.
They made my days better, made me smile, challenged me, supported me, they loved me and became my friends. They spilled over from the store and into my life, and I loved them, loved them all.
And one by one, they left and moved on till there was only one left.
Today she leaves also, she too moves on.
They taught me, I taught them, and today class is over.
But not until She teaches me one last lesson.
How much I will miss them all.
My life will be a bit quieter now.
Damn the silence.
My Girls.
My Angels.
My Dragonslayers.
My Mawrtyrs.
Look into the night sky,
You’ll see them too.
I Love You All.
I Miss You All.
