The end is coming

Today while in sitting and waiting for church to start with my best friend, she turned to me and I could tell she had been tearing up. I immediately start asking what's wrong, who do I need to go get mad at, you know the drill. All she says was "it's almost over". I knew what she meant, prom is over, her senior year is almost over, she's close to graduating and moving to college station. High school is almost done for her.

And then my mind started rolling. This thought has been in the back of my head for a while, one of the reasons why before Megan, I never got close to people older than me. Ever. Because at one point, they always have to leave.

I only have a few months before Megan leaves for A&M. Luckily it's only an hour and 15 minutes away, unlike Canada where she lived last year.

I started crying in church. As per normal we were sitting in the 2nd row in the left, and nobody (as normal) was sitting in front of us, so nobody really saw me crying. Only one other youth grouper showed up to sit with us this mornin, but I don't think she really saw either. It just all of a sudden hit me, she's going to be moving out.

I had been coming to this understanding for quite some time, the fact that she would be going off to college at the end of this year. But the thing is, I often have these thoughts but until they are spoken, they don't seem real. It's like if I keep them locked up in my head, then they are just a figment of my imagination.

I do know this, A&M is only an hour and 15 minutes away. In other words, crisis on either of our parts, it's just a 37.5 minute drive for each of us to meet up. She promised she'd come down to help me go prom dress shopping. I know I'm going to see her again, and I know we'll talk like crazy, but I also know how much I'm going to miss her.

I'm so blessed to have the best friends in my life I do. I know we are all way extremely busy, but we all know that each other is way more important than any busyness will be. I love my friends, they're truly amazing.

So as the end of her senior year does come, I know it's not the end. But until then, I'm making the most of the time we have, and filling it up with memories. ♥
