sob. whimper. tear.

alexandra left for germany very, very early this morning. i woke up at three thirty to escort her to the airport. i didn't think i'd cry, because i don't cry often, but she was crying, and then she hugged me, and i started to cry. and then i really couldn't stop. i cried for half an hour, then started crying again just before school got out, but i don't think anyone saw.


i miss alex already...she left lots of stuff here for us.


this is alex when she and melody and i had a pretty fun day downtown.

and this is alex and i in the little window/ledge thing in the clock tower. it took some doing to get ourselves up there. and down, because alex was scared to get down.

alex when we were all frolicking in my backyard prior to lame sledding and a very exciting five-people-in-back-of-truck ride.

and this here is alex and i, cold and soggy, after flapping about in the snow clothed in the skimpy attire seen here. very cold, yet exhilarating.

i'm really going to miss her. i mean, we'll keep in touch, but i'll probably never see her again in my entire life. oh shoot, i'm about to start crying again.

as i leave, will you be someone to wipe your eye?"
