Goodbye, Eileen

It is late, and I am tired.

Tonight, I said goodbye to my friend Eileen. I don't know if she will ever read this, but if she does, she should know that I enjoyed her company immensely, and I am grateful for her listening to my ramblings.

Eileen is one of few people I know who enjoys films as much as I do. We talked movies a lot, and she always caused me to realize the important role they play in my life.

Although our time together as friends has come to an end, I hope that even while thousands of miles away, we can keep in touch.

She understood--or pretended to understand--almost every joke, story, and piece of understanding I threw at her, and that was the most important thing she could offer me.

So I must end with what is expected: Goodbye, Eileen.

I miss you already.
