It's Not Really Goodbye

....but it still hurts just a bit.

Teresa is moving. Across the flippin' country. It's more than past time. Her darling husband got a good job in Boston and it's past time for them to be in the same house, let alone the same town.

But that doesn't mean I won't miss her. Because I will.

Teresa and I have been chatting on the phone for well over a year now. We first met face to face a year ago June when I was in Chicago visiting family. We had the BEST time. And meeting her made me realize that while talking on the phone is nice - it's even better getting to *see* her. See her passion when she speaks, see her eyes light up when she laughs.

Every time there has been some issue in my life for the last 18 months, she's been there. And since I've moved up here I can say that literally. A better friend no one could ask for.

T1G and I drove over last night for a wonderful dinner and I finally got to meet her 'Darling Husband'. I like him. I like him a lot. I'm afraid he must think I'm some kinda nut job....but he ROCKS!! And they are the perfect pair. It was wonderful.

Good food and wonderful company. All in all a fantastic evening. I will admit to a bit of sadness....because even though this is the best thing for her, and we will still talk daily (heck we've only been "local" for about 5 months) I'm going to miss knowing she's "there". Just down the road and around the corner (about 2 hours). Knowing when we have local blogmeets she won't be there.....yeah - I'll miss her.

Teresa - good luck sweetie. I have this feeling you're going to love Boston. And I can already see the smile back in your eyes.

I'll miss you. And thank you - for everything.

*I'll call ya tomorrow* ;-)
