students graduate, and then leave. This week we are losing 3 couples/families with whom we had become friends through school: a couple from London who are returning home and will have their first baby shortly after getting there. A couple with an 8-month old who are going to England so he can pursue his PhD in theology. A family with a toddler who are off to work upstate.
We'll say we'll stay in touch, and we might for a while. Then we'll send Christmas cards for a few years and then... they'll just be memories.
And then next year more will leave... and then the next... and then it'll be our turn!

Yes, having lived the graduate school life for 8 years, I can relate to that! We've left behind so many sweet friends, and others have left us. Makes me want to email some old friends right now!
