goodbye, claire!

I feel like a proper farewell is in order…

To my friend Claire:

Who started off as a blogging friend and became a real life friend in the end.

It’s been through Claire, that I’ve realized what a wonderful community blogging can provide. It’s amazing to me that you can find people in this internet universe that you can connect with on such a real level. I love how we’re different, but also so much alike. I love how we met for lunch and took walks through the summer sun and the fall drizzle. I love how she so evidently loves her family more than anything, how she’s so easy to talk to, and most of all, how she is not afraid to be herself. I’m thankful for the first time we met in the Boston Common and how I instantly knew this girl would be my friend.

Tomorrow she’s moving across the country, and I’m really sad to see her go. I wish her luck and strength and happiness. Sad as I may be to say goodbye, I’m happy for the fact that we can still be so connected through our blogs each and every day. I can’t wait to read about her new adventures in San Francisco, and hopefully our paths will cross again someday!

Safe travels to you and your family, Claire!! ♥♥
