When I told her we were moving she started to cry, but not for very long. We then spent that entire day together and as I was saying my final goodbye to her she leaned down and kissed me on the cheek.
The only one that I didn’t get to say an official goodbye to was Gary. Every time I tried to get to the beach to see him, either there were too many customers at ‘The Shack’ for him to get away for a few minutes, or he wasn’t there at all. However, Gary made sure I didn’t get away without getting to see him one last time.
Gary showed up at our house as John was shoving the last box into the trunk of our car. I was already in the car, but when I saw Gary’s jeep pull up; I jumped out and ran to him.
