Departure

[vaneramos]

My good friend, Sarah, lost her job last week, not my writing partner but the other Sarah, Sylvie's partner. Sylvie has been away at teachers' college since August, living with her mother in Ottawa. Without any immediate prospects, Sarah had to leave Guelph to stay with her mother in Elliot Lake in northern Ontario. Sylvie and Sarah plan to get married next summer and will probably settle in Ottawa. They have been like family, not only to me but also my daughters. I will miss them badly, but Sarah's departure was so sudden I haven't absorbed it.

Aww thanks. You'll remember Sarah. She sat with us after the concert.

Oh no. I'm sorry, Van.

Meow. This is really crappy news. I hope she can get back on her feet soon.

Big hugs to you and I hope you can at least talk to them often.

Van, so sorry to hear this news. Phone calls are better then nothing, but not as supportive as having them there. Hugs.

Oh, send Sarah and Sylvie my sympathies; I can't imagine moving back in with my parents but just as they were starting to plan to get married? salt in the wound of losing one's job.
