A lot of things have happened recently, but the most recent event in my life is Amanda. Amanda has now moved to Oak Creek, Wisconsin, 1314 miles away from me. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I am not a person that loves or even desires to say good bye to anyone. We left December 26, 2007 at 11:46am from Yarmouth, Maine. It wasn’t so bad; it never hit me until we drove into her new driveway in Wisconsin. I told her I was pissed because I didn’t want her to think I wanted her back here in Maine, because of my selfishness. I am very happy for her, she needs to see who she really is and come back to Maine (really soon). I never thought our friendship meant so much to me until she moved for good out to Wisconsin. I miss her so much I feel as though we are never going to see each other even though we said we would not go more than 3 months without visiting.
We had some really good times on the road and in Wisconsin. Mike took us out everyday, I think. We went to Hooters, a first time for me and Amanda. I’m still not sure where the girls’ clothes went. We also went to the Milwaukee County Zoo, which was a lot of fun; the gorilla is always going to be one of my favorite things that we saw.
For Christmas she gave me this wonderful necklace of an angel. I keep it close to my heart at all times (it is a necklace) and it means so much to me. I had a hard time even looking at it when she gave it to me because I thought about all the times we have shared together. I have had best friends before but nothing like her she is almost like my other soul mate, next to Tony.
I am happy to be home but I wish I could have spent some more time out there with Mike and Amanda; it would have been paradise if Tony could have been there. No the weather isn’t always nice but I loved it there. Maybe if I lived there for more than 4 nights I wouldn’t like it so much.
Amanda,
I want you to always remember that I am here for you. No matter what time of day or night it is I want you to always know that I am here and I am going to support you no matter what kind of decision you are going to make.
When you are feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain’t right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
I’ll be the one to make it better
I’ll be there to protect you to see you through
I’ll be there and there isn’t a thing I won’t do
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be your sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
