Operation Wedding Dress

…like a shadow lurking around the corner, just waiting to pounce on a helpless victim.

That victim is me.

Tomorrow is my last day at a job I’ve been in for five years. 

A month after I started this job, I got really, really sick.  The people here came together in my most trying times, they helped me so much that the words “thank you” just don’t seem like enough.  They celebrated the birth of my third son, and hugged me and comforted me last year when I faced one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to face.  They cheered for me and encouraged me when I was training for my marathon.  And they have said the nicest things to me as I make my way toward a new future. 

Goodbye hurts.
