Memories!

Back in Adelaide after a great weekend away in Melbourne. Had a chance to catch up with lots of family and friends and say another farewell on my seemingly neverending 'farewell tour'. This time I went in knowing that it would be the last time I see people for a while but I made an effort to treat it just like we were catching up any other time. I didn't want to get overly emotional in front of anyone - I always get embarrassed if I cry in public. I think the only two times I got close were when I hugged my grandma goodbye and when I said goodbye to Stephen. It's funny - I get more emotional when I'm on my own as my brain just starts to tick over.

Anyway - I can't believe that it's Thursday and that I am leaving in three days. Even thinking that out loud makes me feel sad inside. I really don't know how I am going to feel leaving David on Sunday night. He just came into the lounge room and gave me a random cuddle. We are both dealing with this separation anxiety in our own ways, but come Sunday we will both be a mess.

I am really lucky to have David and Stephen in my life. I have lots of other wonderful friends and beautiful family that I am also grateful for, but Stephen is a one-of-a-kind friend. He is more like a brother to me and is someone that is always there to offer support, advice, friendship and love. Lucky me!

David is like no one I have ever known before. He is amazing and inspiring (even though he doesn't know it). He always has my back and is supportive of me no matter what - letting me live this dream in the USA is proof of that. I have never loved anyone so completely or deeply in my life and I often think I'm such a fool for leaving him to live away. But I know that I will be coming home. To David. Because David is my home, my everything. I know that sounds mushy but it's true. I can't imagine my life without him. I can't wait for him to visit in April - that's the thing I will focus on once I arrive in the USA!!

Anyway, enough rambling - it's time to go book his ticket!!

The love of my life!

My BFF! 25 years and counting! x
