A Goodbye

Last night was Canadas farewell party. Despite the fact that she was four and a half hours late (for various genuine reasons to be fair), it was alot of fun. It turned out incredibly well, there were tears at various times, for various reasons, but mostly we all had fun. It was a great evening. Even Sara made it for a few hours.

As it got later, I realised that there will allways be things you have to do alone. Noone else can sort it out for you, there is no magic formula. If you have friends around you, they may well want to, but it's your task, your quest. Nothing can change that.

While you work out what you need to do and how to do it, they'll support you. If you're lucky even those who wished you'd chosen something else may do. There are people all around you who will cross literal and metaphorical oceans to help you. These people are some of the most amazing people.

Although Canada is moving away, and only some will keep in touch, we'll all support her in any way we can. Just ask.
