Time and Change

It is coming to that time, where school is ending, and family will soon be here for graduation. It seems like only yesterday I was starting school and meeting all of these people who will be life long friends. I can't help but ask where all of the time went though.....?
As I have sat thinking and remembering all that this past year has entailed, I can't help but feeling like I'm losing some very dear and close loved friends. I have moved many times, and got used to the routine. Friends would always keep in touch for a bit, then it felt like watching an old movie remembering times with those friends. I started having this deepening sadness come into my heart and mind. Then I remembered, these friends, these mentors, these teachers, these people, I have come so close to, and I think it will be hard to leave them, but they will forever be in my heart and prayers. We have been through so much, and I feel like I've gotten close to these loved ones, and I've opened up which those that know me well know that that hardly ever happens ;)
Anyway I thought I would take this opportunity to say that I love all of you, and appreciate everything you all have taught me. Every single one of you have taught me something or other since the beginning of the year, even if you didn't know it. I am dearly going to miss all of you, and even though we have a month of school left it feels as if already we are all starting to drift into the next steps of our lives. I hope we all continue to keep strong, looking toward to graduation, and patiently waiting to see our families again.
I hope we all keep in contact, whether facebook, myspace, blog spot, email, phone calls, or even my favorite old fashion hand written letters :) Thank you all, and I will miss everyone!
