You Will Always Be A Part of Us

A. Jonas' golf cart in the Public school is clipping along midday 15 minutes after school let out. It is beautiful, yet perplexing.
1. Feeling it as I am welcomed into several extended Sparta-nation families.

B. Email from old friends, keeping those connections, everyday thoughts, especially those at the rink, being courageous, gigantic explanations.
2. Feeling it as Tim helps me get to where I need to go in a hurry.

C. The privilege of reading ‘you will always be a part of us’ in a three page email - with extraordinary feeling - from a mother to her daughter's coach (‘you were like her second mother’).

3. Feeling it as the email went on to say that she still has pictures of me hanging in her room (à la Lost Boys) plays a constant reminder over dinner.
