Goodbyes

Buddy the Dog

Today is my last day in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I have greatly enjoyed this month being home with family, friends, and my dog.  While I am dying inside saying goodbye to everyone here I love, this goodbye is much easier than the ones I said in August.  I have only two months until hellos, and I know that absence really does make the heart grow fonder.  On top of that, I have so many amazing friends at school that I have missed this past month.  My life has been split in so many ways in the last few months, and after some contemplation I think it is actually a very good thing.  I haven't lost anything in the process; I've gained another home and another family.  The two will never intertwine, but I don't know if that is necessarily a bad thing.  It gives me more to love, more to care about, more homes and people to call family.  Today is for goodbyes, but tomorrow will be full of hellos.
