to a co worker and good friend. She was my counterpart in Manufacturing (I'm in Engineering). She was a former Navy Chopper pilot and we would swap sea stories once in a while. However she was into football and basketball so we usually talked about that. She collects football cards and gets boxes of them all the time. She gave me a bunch of her duplicates because she knows my oldest is into football big time. Over the years we developed a friendship very much like brother and sister, I do not have a sister so I don't know what it really is like but our friendship is what I imagine it to be like.
Yesterday was her last day. I didn't get to see her much as I was busy and she was getting ready to leave, say goodbyes, etc...
Last night we had a going away party and it was fun, but hard. My other friend (another woman and as Darla likes to refer to her as my work wife) was having a really hard time with it as the two of them have become real good friends. We were the last ones there and saying goodbye finally was really hard. No I didn't cry but on the way home I did get choked up.
She really was a good friend and I am going to miss her.
