It's with great excitement that I welcome you to your very own blog. What in the world is this?! you might be wondering? Well this, my dear sister, is a tribute to you, to us and a way to cement exactly how blessed I feel by having you in my life. Since we so love going on trips together, this one takes us down memory lane with an open ended ticket to the future. One month from today, I'll be taking a little side trip of my own, but it's not for forever and we'll be back on the road together, soon. I chose to start this one month before I leave because it really is the final countdown. Is a month long enough to fit in all I'd like? No way. It is, however, an avenue in which I'm coping with the impending farewell.
This is my way of helping you understand just how much you mean to me. It's also my way of looking back on what have been the most wonderful six years of my life. I couldn't be more thrilled that those six years have been by one another's side. That's precisely the reason those years have so amazing. We have experienced some of the true great things that life has to offer and we are so richly blessed because they've been together. Every single good and bad thing, the ups and downs, have brought us to a place with one another where you are undoubtedly my very best friend, confidant, mentor and soul mate. When I think about the last truly pivotal time of shared change in life - when you graduated from high school - I couldn't have imagined that the road was being paved for our relationship and what would soon come to be between us. These are the days I cherish, Allison. These are the days of greatness, of dreams, of adventure and of life. Or, as Natalie Merchant says:
These are the days. These are days you’ll remember. Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be warm as this. And as you feel it, you’ll know it’s true, that you are blessed and lucky. It's true that you are touched by something that I'm going through.
Listen and smile:
Every part of this song makes me think of you and it rings far more true now than it ever did all those yearbook unveiling years ago.
As the overwhelming sadness of goodbye sets in, let this blog be a way of reminding you that I am still with you, always. No matter where I go. Let this remind you of what a unique, precious gift our relationship is and let it remind you of the fun, joyful memories we've made over time. This is just the beginning of a whole new chapter...
