05-01-22 Good bye for now, my friend
It’s hard to know when someone moves away if you will see them again. I think in my life I have always said goodbye with the thought in my head that it was just ‘for now’. Too many times life has made it so only looking back was left. Today I did some chores and then got ready and headed to the Firehall. There was supposed to be a BBQ here later but many things changed and spontaneously the plan became lunch with just four of us to say goodbye to Varghese. It was lovely to get to chat with Lynda and Melisa. We all worked together at a Firm a few years back and three of us left for other places. Yesterday was his turn to go and he is off on big adventures. First stop will be home to India to see his family as it has been 3 years. He does have plans to come back to Canada as he has his permanent residency but I would be surprised if it was to Cranbrook. At 30 years old he has so many options and I was interested to hear that he never wants to work in accounting again. I look forward to hearing of his adventures and want to trust I will hear from him and hopefully see him again.
Once I got home I went for a good long walk with Tracy and then we sat in the backyard having a beer and a chat. The temperature was perfect and no wind for a change. She got cold though, and I came in to make dinner. The meal of two huge servings means I will have to enjoy the rest tomorrow. I admit I binge watched the rest of The Flight Attendant that is available so far. Now I must get off to bed as tomorrow is a busy day again.
