Goodbye

 Well my friends. The day has (pretty much) arrived. I'm off to meet my new friends. I know some of you will think 'Oh she'll have so much fun with her new people she'll forget all about us'. In the moment I might. It will be hard for me to call or write. If the phone doesn't ring it will most likely be me. But you are always my People. My roots, my family, the people I grew up with, my friends. So don't worry. I won't forget you. Someone will be sick and I'll think of a longtime joke with Uncle.. 'tho thick of being thick' ;) Someone will stop in and I'll think of Cousins who stopped in to sing or chill or eat. Someone will ask about home and I'll think of y'all. I know. I'm being sentimental. It's only 6 months. I'll blink and I'll be home again. Well, actually I'll blink about 5,299,200 blinks before I come home.
 In the time I have between blinking and living and remembering you all stuck at home, I'll try to post some my life on here for you to view. I'm not sure how it will all work out so we'll see what happens.
