The Loss Of A Roommate

It's funny when a situation you knew was coming still catches you off gaurd. I've known that my roommate Alex was leaving to go back to school since January. And I didn't think that it would be that big of a deal to me... it was almost like I didn't really realize how big of a part of my life he has been for the last almost 2 years.


However... it kinda hit me a little bit last night as we sat around watching TV last night that we were a pretty good fit for each other. We both found learning a fun thing regardless of what it was that we were learning... things like the Miltary Channel and the History Channel could easily catch our attentions. We had seen all the same movies and could finish each other's one liners because we were already saying the same thing in our own heads.

I'd have to say that I felt myself get a little emotional last night about the whole thing... and then found myself sitting around in the quietness of the house today. It was like it finally hit me that he won't be back tonight to chat with or play video games with. Just another cruel reminder that life marches forward and good things never last. But that's what makes good things good... because for awhile... they make a difference in your life!

Good luck back in Missouri Alex!
And thanks for being such a great roomie!
