Part of Living
|
Living abroad can have its ups and downs but being disconnected from those you love is probably the hardest pill to swallow. Friendships can overcome the test of time and distance... but when something wonderful occurs or when tradgedy strikes the person who has wandered farther than the rest is left to be filled in by those who are present to witness the events first hand. By being away there is a sense of disconnection that comes hand-in-hand with the news of every event. It is hard to grasp the gravity of what has happened or to truly celebrate when you are finally let in on the happenings. You tell yourself that when you get back it will all set in and make sense. It doesn't. A hurricane can wipe out an entire city and devastate lives yet when you return home, four months later, you wonder why people are still making a big deal about it. You know that life goes on without you but the large changes are the ones that you least comprehend. A new Dunkin' Donuts on the street corner is a little confusing but the loss of a friend is utterly disorienting. I wish I could be there with you all right now to sit around and talk about the amazing experiences we had while blessed by Jesse's presence. I hope you find comfort in each other and rely upon one another for support. She will never be truly gone... missed desperately and always loved, but never gone. DJ please watch out for us from your new place, keep smiling for us. We love you and miss you. xoxcr |
