and the radio keeps playing this song from roughly the era of my leaving for college. It has new relevance today as I prepare to leave a place where I have some of the hardest, most rewarding, painful, triumphant and all around strangest times of my life. It's by (shame!) Green Day, and it's titled "Good Riddance" which is not the sentiment I am feeling, but it's still humming in my head over and over and over...
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
See ya, Boston!

My love, I was just thinking over this Easter weekend that it was just one Easter ago that you were going through the worst time of your life, and I am SO PROUD of all the work you've done and so happy that you are so happy now. All in less than a year. You amaze me! And I miss you!
xoxo,
Sol
