Farewell... Posted at 10/13/2012 08:57:00 PM 0 comments (+) So my best buddy finally left Utah last October 4. He flew to Texas to pursue his dreams. But before he left, we had a couple of send-off parties for him. One was hosted by V and the other one was a BBQ party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. A the night before his flight. There were lots of food and lots of singing that night. But since the hosts doesn't own a videoke machine, we just had a live guitar accompaniment. Mr. and Mrs. A both play the guitar and as a surprise farewell gift to Uly, they gave him a squier electric bass at musicians friend. So they jammed and we sang until the wee hours of the morning. The next day, hubby and I dropped him off at the airport. I tried my hardest not to shed a tear that morning but when we said our final goodbyes, tears just ran down my face. My buddy was in tears too. Even my 3-year old son cried as well. I know Texas is not that far away but if just feels weird to not see him almost everyday. We are so used having him around that it hurts so bad seeing him go.
