Sometimes I don’t think about. I really have wonder friends in Athens. But every once in a while, I get a voicemail (when did we stop calling them messages?), or I think about a certain problem in my life…..or I hear a song……and a wave washes over me, my chest tightens, my heart aches, and I can’t help but sighing……..(this is where I would shed a tear if I was a crier).
There are certain friends that I will never be able to reconcile my life far away from. I used to think that I couldn’t live far away from Georgia because of these friends. But oh the irony. They have almost all moved away and left me here. Thankfully, some are in Atlanta – which is a lifesaver. I talked on my cell phone 3000 minutes last month. Yep, that is about an hour and a half a day.
But the good news is that I am going to see two of these special people tomorrow when I go to New York. I am excited about seeing the city and everything, it has been a couple of years – but more importantly, I am looking forward to recharging with Libby and Maggie. I miss them so much. How come you miss people the most right before you see them?
