Goodbyes
2007-03-19Today I found out that a friend of mine is finally moving away from Peoria. His last day at work is Thursday. He’s not here today, so I’m not sure when exactly he is moving, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that it is this weekend.
To quote Good Will Hunting, I know that he is moving to “see about a girl”, and truly I wish him God’s blessing as he pursues this noble calling. And yet, I had hoped that, perhaps, he would change his mind and begin his married life here in Peoria.
I know that I’m supposed to be happy for him, and somewhere in my mind, I guess that I am. But really, all I’m feeling is this dull, twisting knot of pain in my chest.
