Leaving

I just stood there in the lobby of the Harbor Inn staring out the frozen window. I just said goodbye to Gabby. Now she was gone. Creepy Christmas music echoed down the empty halls of the deserted lobby. It made me feel worse. The feelings came fast...like a car coming out of a blind spot: I'm leaving my family right before Christmas? I'm leaving Gabby right as basketball and ski season start? What am I doing? I know Gab didn't want me to leave but she kept those thoughts to herself. As I stood there all I could think about was how much she had grown, how proud of her I was, and how much I will miss her.
