My good buddy Trisha told us last weekend that they were moving out of town. Her husband had a good job prospect in another city and none here. They had planned on leaving early tomorrow morning. It was sudden but that's kind of how they roll. They needed a fresh start and they had no real ties here except us and another couple they are friends with. I've known since she told me that it would be a good move for them. I was happy for them and took the news in stride. Until now.
I just spoke with Trisha. They left a day early because her husband was so eager to meet with the supervisor at the new company. All their stuff was ready to go so they just loaded up and left this morning. Like I said, that's how they roll. I was in blissful ignorance of this until 2 minutes ago. I dropped by their house earlier so Trisha and I could hang out on my lunch break one last time. I figured she was running errands so I let Coondog know that I would be home late because I had to stop by to see her after work to say goodbye. Then I got the call. Now I'm almost in tears because it caught me by surprise. I'm bummed that my friend is gone. I'm very thankful I stopped by Monday and spent a couple of hours talking to her. That was way better than a rushed goodbye. And it's not like they fell off the face of the earth. We'll keep in touch. For now I will focus on praising God for bringing Trisha and her husband in our lives when He did and for letting us be friends with such a warm couple.
