Eighteen Months

I have an oral presentation to prepare for my 8 o'clock class tomorrow. I have a comprehensive German grammar and strong verbs exam tomorrow.

But I'm having trouble focusing.

I'm going to miss this blonde-haired girl for the next 18 months.


She is awkward and unabashedly herself. She is funny as all get out, and we survived a summer of camp together. When I told her I was engaged, her first response was "I'm not surprised, I saw it coming." Typical Leah.
Sometimes I think about the times when I wasn't patient with her, and I'm regretful.
But there's always tomorrow and the next week, month, year. Ample time to make things better and strengthen relationships. The most important thing, though, is that I focus on that today.

Ciao, Leah. Gott sei bei dir, bis wir uns wiedersehen.
