grow separate, not apart.


annie and i have
grown separately
for a year now.
but, in 15 hours
we will be reunited,
and this makes me so thrilled
words can't express.
i love the girl to death
and love the friendship we have
but so many times this past
year i needed her with me,
not just on the phone or the
internet, but with me.
side by side. screaming, jumping,
laughing, smiling, crying, feeling.
i can already feel like 10 days
won't be enough... just make me
miss her more than i already do.
but i can't wait to make new memories
and be with one of my best friends
on the front row in the whole world.
amazing what distance and time
can do to friends that continue to grow.
and i'm continually amazed at the power
of people (2 or more) bonded together
by common goals, standards, and direction.
this week annie and i will be surrounded with
such people, and we will grow together,
only to be separated for another year
to grow separately again. SO excited
to see what she's learned, and tell her what i've learned.

it's going to be an excellent week
