It's actually here...

Well ladies and gentlemen,

The day has finally arrived. My last day with Mike is today.

He leaves tomorrow sometime in the afternoon, while I'm in school, with his mom to Calgary and then flies out to London on Friday. How did it come sooo fast?

In some ways this past month of our relationship has felt like it's been a lot longer, just in that we've done so much and met so many people and probably because subconsciously we were both trying to slow down time. When I look at the school side of it, I can't believe a month is already up.

Last night I met his mother. We had dinner at his grandma's place, which was my third time there. This time however, Natalie (his younger sister), and his mom were there. It was good, I was really tired, and his sister was tired which was feeding my exhaustion. They are all so much a like, it's quite entertaining to me.

On the way home though, he dropped Natalie off, and he went to drop her off on the side of the street just because her alley way is hard to get in and out of, and she stated that she wasn't going to see him for a long time, which didn't clue in for any of us at first I think. So he quickly got into the alley way and they both got out and hugged, and I instantly got super sad. It was hard even seeing him say bye to his sister, I have no idea how I am going to react to him saying goodbye to me.

So, friends and family, if I'm down and sad in the days to come, you know why.

So here is to change, and love, and heartbreak, and hope, and never knowing what the future holds.

xoxo
