They go. I stay.
And so three of the biggest influences of my life are moving on to the next points of their lives. One, perusing a doctorate in Illinois. Another, in the Teach for America program in Hawaii. The third, attending Med School in Colorado. I know all three are going to be perfectly fine in their new states. They always are.
Even though I will never publicly admit the impact that these three have left on my life, I will not lie about how I am suddenly feel an emptiness. I know that we are only a technological device away from communicating, but it definitely is not the same as having the option of driving out to see them.
Again, they will do great. I do not have to wish them the best. They already will be on that path. While they leave, I stay here forever thankful for their time in my life. Here instead is to seeing you soon.
I consider all men equal, but thank you to what I basically saw as a father, a son, and a twin brother. I will be here back at home doing my own big things just as we always have.
