And he's gone

It's not forever, but right now it sure does feel like it. I just dropped Matt off at his pier. It wasn't our final goodbye, because they're having a boat picnic on the pier in two hours, which I'll be going to. Part of me doesn't want to go because I'm pretty emotional right now and I don't want to have to be around people. However, I will take any chance that I can get to see him before he leaves this afternoon.

I know that before I know it, it will be December and he'll be back home - for good. I keep trying to think about how happy I'll be when I pick him up from the airport and get to give him the biggest hug he's ever gotten. But I also know that with separation like this comes a form of grief, and that being emotional right now is a normal part of that process. That doesn't mean I have to like it, though :P
