My sweetie is gone!

[dagibbs]

Well, not quite yet -- but effectively so, since I'm at work until after she leaves. And, she will make an approximately 5 hour re-appearance, to manically unpack then repack after her Saskatchewan trip, but before her AT departure. But, really, when I dropped her off at MEC (yes, we've been to MEC many times in the last little while) this morning, that was good bye.

I'll miss her. I'll miss her horribly.

But, I love her, and I wish her well on her journey. I hope that everything goes well for her. And, I understand more deeply how an ex- of mine felt when I headed off to Europe for 3 months of cycling.

North Wind, may the winds blow you gently, but firmly, in the direction you will travel. May the trail treat you kindly, and may you have the best hike you could possibly have. My love goes with you.

I was already crying!!!

(insert hours' worth of cheesy proclomations and together time here)

Yeah,

It's hard. I. did a fellowship in BC for 3 months a couple of years ago. I hated it, missed her every minute she was gone.

The bonus though was that although I loved and adored her then, not having her around for that long sure showed me how much I never wanted to be without her again.

Yeah, I was tearing up when I wrote this, too.

Maybe she will see murphyw out there on the AT.

Maybe you can ride down and meet up with her sometimes?

Seeing murpyw is not likely, as he just headed out SoBo, and she will also be SoBo, but about two weeks behind. She is unlikely to overtake him.

And, I have thought about riding down to meet her -- but it is tricky to arrange. I know where she'll be hitting town, but I don't really know when. And, she won't have much chance to call and warn me a day or two in advance -- since she won't, then, be in town. But, it would be nice.

Of such sadness stronger bonds are forged.
