Tum Entry
Well... I got back from the Maynard's a little while a go. I haven't had a horribly sad day like that in so long.
I guess I'll start from the beginning of my weekend. Friday was Tum's going away party. Tum, Elyse, Hollin, Sam, and I basically excluded ourselves from everyone else. We went on the swings (by the way it was at Sears Park) and we went on the lifegaurd chair and ate. I love Tum's reactions when he opened our presents, "More, more!". It was so funny. Then Tum was being really funny and just sitting there and Elyse and I couldn't help but start to cry. But after that we got happier again and danced so much with Tum, Andrea and everyone. Andrea got so happy when we started playing Spanish songs and screamed on the top of her lungs, and forced us all to dance. Then Elyse and I performed the Korean song, "Missing You" for Tum. He laughed so hard trying to listen to us sing in Korean. Uh, then we danced to DDR songs, ha. After that Alex and Eric went to some party (way to spend time with Tum). So Charlie gave us a ride to the Maynard's were we got a lot of Thai stuff from Tum. He gave me a tapestry, pins and keychains (lots), and just a bunch of random things from Thailand. Then Elyse and I slept over Hollin's.
Saturday I woke up and went home from Hollin's and kind of just sat home for the day. At six I went to the church for some festival. Tum, Elyse, Hollin, and I were there. He was being so mean to us! I guess he didn't want to be there. So he ran away after we yelled at him up Barton Hill! Then he came back and ran away again to the center school field. Elyse and I went after him and all three of us sat on a bench crying. Mostly Elyse and I. Tum was laughing and filming us crying, what a weird person.
Tum: Why are you sad?
Me: Because you are going back, we aren't going to see you everyday!
Tum: Oh my god! I am still in the, uh... world. Jeez.
Me: It's not the same.
Tum: Oh my god, just come to Thailand. No big deal.
Then we went to Tum's house afterword, etc, etc, etc.
Sunday I stayed home and did my English final.
Today I wore my Thailand shirt that Tum gave me and wrote, "I Heart Tum" on the back. Elyse and Hollin wore their shirts too. We also had ribbons that said "Goodbye Tum: Love, Kayla, Hollin, Elyse, Sam, East Hampton - We Love you!". Tum wore his shirt that we made for him that said "People Who Heart Tum:" and then we all signed it. It was funny.
After my second exam, Spanish (positive I failed) we walked with Tum to his house. He was being so nice and funny! We got to his house and just took a lot of pictures and ate some really spicy soup Tum gave us. He got so mad at us when we didn't finish it. The day was going so well. No one was crying at all, and I almost felt as if I wasn't going to cry when Tum left. I was wrong. Sam's eyes were starting to water, and I said is that because of your makeup? She goes oh yeah, it's my makeup and then starts balling. Right after here Elyse, Hollin, and I started crying. Tum came out and hugged us and said, "Oh my god STOP!" really loud. We cried like that a little bit on and off and then when Tum brought his suitcases out we lost it. I was crying so hard I felt like someone died. Then Tum got his shoes on and we started crying harder. "Oh no, stop that... I'm still here." We all went downstairs and Tum gave us all bear-hugs. I haven't cried so hard in such a long time. All four of us were crying like babies. We waved Tum goodbye and just cried on the porch for a while. Then we wrote "We Miss You Tum" and "I Love Tum" with chalk that Hollin got on the driveway. (So his plane could see it, I know it's not going to but we did it anyways). Then my mom came and picked my up and I put the rest of the pins and stuff Tum gave me. Tum wrote a lot of stuff in Thai on our arms, and I don't want to wash it off! I'm going to miss him so much. We are going to miss him so much. Sam, Hollin, Elyse, and I are going to have a sleepover every two months and make one big phone call to him. I am almost done with my first letter to him. And we are sending him a huge package of presents for his birthday (June 6th).
Tum - I am going to miss you so much! I'm so glad I met you this year. You were so quiet at first and then became so loud and random. I don't think I've ever met someone that makes me laugh as much as you do. I'm so happy that you and Sam are together now. I remember the first time we told you she was coming over and you started hyperventalating. I remember the first time Elyse and I came to visit you and you were eating your spicy soup and sweating. Laser Tag was fun even though you ran away from us in Middletown into a dark alley. Haha. But we found you and video taped you some more. We have so many memories of you being so crazy. Taking my garbage bag and pretending to be Santa yelling, "HO HO HO". When you hid in your house and when we finally found you on the stairs you screamed, "Blah!!!" and we screamed at the top of our lungs. I remember walking to Citizen's Bank with you and the scene you made when the teller told you that you had to wrong bank. We laughed so hard when we were walking in Middletown and you saw, "Thai Gardens" and pointed with your mouth wide open while hyperventalating. I'm going to miss you telling us stories with your numerous, UHs, CHAs, and YEAHs. You hitting us with your tennis racket hurt but was still hilarious. I even remember one time when I was over your house and you punched me. I didn't think anything of it until I was on the ground in your kitchen, and you freaked out because you thought you really hurt me. Dancing to DDR music at your going away party was awesome. And walking to your house saying, "I hate that guy" and "Shut up!" all the way was hilarious. There are so many funny memories that I can think of to write but that would take forever. Miss you. Backayaro (You IDIOT!).
