Of almost 13 years is moving in less than 3 weeks.
I know he’s doing it for very good reasons, and I support him. But I can’t manage knowing that he just won’t be there next year.
He and I have had rough times, but we’re still best friends. Next year is gonna be so different not even seeing him on campus, more or less him being in class with me.
The same school and basically all the same classes for 12 years. That doesn’t happen, and the one rare time it has, I don’t even get to spend my last year of high school with him.
I don’t get to see him walk the stage at graduation, or say to him “13 years later and look at us, graduating and moving on.” I don’t get to hug him while probably crying. Because he just won’t be there.
I’m going to miss him. I’m going to hate the distance. I’m going to have a huge pang of sorrow at graduation this time next year, because he won’t be there. Won’t be graduating with me.
I hope he visits often, because I know I’m really gonna miss him.
Jacob Stephen Lanier, you’ll be my best friend always. 12 years and still going good. I’ll miss you so much, and I hope you the best. I hope you have success and everything you deserve. I love you. :)
