Ok, so I'm starting to really believe it is coming to an end. We have 3 days of school left. And I feel really, really sad about leaving this place for the first time. I know I will miss the freedom and fun that school is (or at least the freedom and fun of 3rd and 4th year), all our friends, the awesome restaurants and events of Charleston, and our amazing water front view. But what I'm going to miss most of all just probably happened for the last time.
We got home today; long day by dental school standards (i.e. got home at 4:45). And there was Pandy, waving us in for a cup of coffee. We nibbled on left over cake, a cookie, and some chips, enjoyed instant coffee, and just sat and talked, laughed, prayed... 2 hours later, Pawpaw called saying he's on his way home from the farm with Mama Brown's (i.e. favorite family BBQ joint) - do the yard children want to eat with us (that's our name, given to us by Deedee Melchers)? Of course we do! And there you go, an entire evening spent with these precious people. This is our little tradition every 2 weeks or so, and I'm going to miss it so much. Tearing up just at the thought that this is the last time we will have our impromptu coffee/dinner evenings.
I am so thankful for these four years and the opportunity to get to know two of the most amazing people ever.
Now I'm going back over to eat BBQ and some of Mama Brown's amazingly unhealthy but ridiculously delicious sweet potato casserole, and savor every moment of these precious memories that I will never forget.
