First round of goodbyes

Yesterday was my last day at the daycare, which is one of my favorite places on all of Earth (see previous blogs entitled "I HEART DCCCC!!!!" or something of the sort). beyond it being sad because it was my last day there, it was also sad because I found out that the director's wife (who has been sick for about the past 3 months with breast cancer) died last tuesday. It was a little shocking because she's had cancer for ten years and only went out of remission around spring break. I adore their whole family, and they've always been incredibly nice to me by inviting me over when i'm on campus for thanksgiving or when nick and emily were in town last we went out for "daycare hazing"... it's also really sad because emily graduates from brown this weekend and they were really hoping that patti could last that long. It always just gets you thinking.... what if that were my mom?

Anyway, so the first round of dartmouth goodbyes didn't go so well. Here's hoping the remaining ones are a little less tramatic...

Wow, dude. I'm sorry. That really sucks.

Be careful - death happens in 3's.

Don't listen to her. I'm beginning to think she's a witch who makes deaths happen in threes.

P.S. I think it's spelled "traumatic"... ;)

Love,

Babe, I do hope your other goodbyes are better! But you can also remember how bad things got in our little high school friendship circle after senior year and we still talk to each other;) Love ya!
