Sayonara

Saying goodbye was something I was made to do.

However, right now, I find myself completely unable to move passed this horrible sinking feeling: Bill and Okada are gone. They both will still only live only a half hour away, but our connection through work is irrecoverably lost. Somehow that is more painful than if they were to move as far as the moon.

I remember that I asked Okada-sensei, "will we still be friends?"

She laughed, but she said nothing.
