'cause in Brooklyn, you're family

My weekend was sad...

It's always hard, but this one really did me in. That's the thing about Brooklyn, no one is here to stay, not even me. These guys were like family, like most of our close friends. Friendships are tight here. Hopefully tight enough when the time comes, like it did for them, to not let distance get in the way.

I will miss this family. I will miss my Wednesday's with the kids. I will miss my friend.

I suppose part of what makes this particular "goodbye" so hard is the impending one of my own. I don't think I'm ready, not yet. But I don't know if I will ever be...

*That creepy guy in the background is my brother. He, is not leaving.

Thank you for yummy breakfast on Saturday and one last chance at hanging out. I can't believe we're not New Yorkers anymore. Start preparing yourself now, Alysha.. leaving Brooklyn is just plain hard.

Alysha, I tagged you. Read my blog for the rules.

Lysh, I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to one of you very dear friends. I know it was really difficult. And while I never really got to spend much time with the Reynolds, I also know that they do indeed rock. (Alysha only has cool friends, it is something I've picked up on through the years. Her having cool friends, not me being able to do the same. Lukily, she shares). And while I know that having the Reynolds leave is/has been really hard the fewer cool people left in Brooklyn the easier it will be for Lysh, Tom, and little Lukey to leave one day. My hope is that we'll (& yes I use that term as if I'm a part of Lysha's little family) convince the Riches to move wherever the Beans do so that it will make the move a little bit easier. Especially if they live at the Smith's house. Randall, Diane, Me, Tom, Lysh, Lukey, Katie, Chip, Eve, Ruthie, Muffin, Addy. Oh the games we will play. Sorry I've gone off track. I'm sorry you had to say goodbye to good friends. Hopefully you'll stay in touch. Brooke, stay in touch.
