Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
Jack and I went on our last date… for a while, anyway… tonight.
It was a very bittersweet moment. We know we’ll see each other again, but.. we really are going our separate ways again. I know we’ll meet up – sometimes I’ll come back to see him, sometimes he’ll have to come to Japan for work and he’ll see me too, but… but it’s a chapter of our life that’s closing. He’s getting in the car tomorrow with some of his family and he’s going to Ohio. His father has to work but his mother is coming along.
I guess Grace is going too – they’re going to stop by and visit relatives and friends in Columbus.
I said goodbye to Grace too. She started bawling, too, poor kid. I told her I’ll see her again and she’ll always be like my little sister, and she just clung to me like a stuffed animal with velcro paws. But, it is what it is. She’ll always be a special little girl to me.
Liz is staying over tonight with me and Yuki. She’s leaving for California tomorrow, too.
She looks a lot sadder than she usually does. But she says she’s looking forward to college. The one she’s attending is pretty prestigious, so she’s kinda hopeful too, so there’s that. But she’ll miss all of us here.
Next weekend, it’s my turn.
Yuki’s camped out on a futon in my room and we’re all going to sleep soon.
