I Didn't Go


Yesterday my friends (most of whom I'd never met before today) left for Crestone without me. I went to the Conoco station where we always rendezvous on the way out of town and I got to see them off.  (Hey Dancing, one couple was from England - delightful people.)

There is some sadness here, but I'm mostly over that.  I feel like I grew up a little.  My decision was a 100% selfless, going against what I wanted for me.

There will be other times that I can do what I want.  This is the one time that I can be here for my parents as my dad is born into his next stage.

My new friends are taking a piece of me with them.  I am so very lucky to be so loved and supported.

Amazing.

  6. Me too, CfP. I didn't know it was so near. You're a good daughter. Take a second to face the East and feel the breeze of support from me on your face, too.
