The One Left Behind
Today had a kind of sad overtone to it. I took Nicole to SeaTac so she could make her 12:55 flight to Newark. Even though work is going well, and I had a good dinner with people from Princeton, it just made everything seem kind of…blah.
Nicole and I talked tonight about the feeling of watching a loved one leave. It's very disheartening. While the person who leaves has arriving home to look forward to; plus a plane flight. Meanwhile, the one staying has to go back to everything as normal. Unfortunatly, it's not quite normal. Instead, things just seem a bit empty.
Today was no different. I came home today, not to find the radiant face of Nicole, but to an empty apartment. Looking around, I see where Nicole had been for four days, but she's not here. Nicole has been gone for only twelve hours, and I already miss her.
Sigh…It's time for bed. Night all.
