See you later not good bye

Today I say see you later to a good friend, he is off to teach English in Asia for 2 years or so. This would not be someone I know or have just worked with but a true friend, someone who I will really miss. I know it is see you later and not good bye but you know right now it feels like it could be a long time. I know he will have a good time as that is the type of person he is and I cant wait until I get to hear his tales of what he is going to get up to I just wished that the 2 years would just be over.

I was going to go out with him tonight as a farewell but my girl friend was not well, saying not well is an understatement. I have never seen her like this and I caused me great pain to see her this unwell and a lot of upset, it is noting serous but to see someone you love that upset and with very little you can do hurt me so much it was hard. Now she is in bed and fast asleep I'm feeling better, I glad the very little I could do helped and I'm sure she will be fine tomorrow.
