Vacationing Friends

We've all been alone before. We've all missed people and every single one of us has said goodbye. So i'm sure you'll understand what I mean when I say i'm going to have a very lonely summer. Right now, two of my friends are already gone. They will be back in a week, but before they return, two more of my friends will leave. One of the returning friend's boyfriend is leaving for college this next autumn and this is their last few monthes. I understand that she wants to spend time with him and I will push her to be with him alot. I can't imagine having someone you used to have so close be so far away for such a long time. So time with her is cut, but I won't mind.
But wait. There's more! A couple more will leave soon after that. It seems that this year everyone but me is leaving at some point during the summer. I love to travel, but I never get the chance.

I have a tendency to miss people a lot, not matter how long they are gone. I already miss the two friends that have only been gone a couple days. I can't imagine how much I'm going to miss the others considering they will be gone for most of the rest of the summer. By the time they get back, I know it will be time to go back to school, and they will probably only have a week of vacation at home.

My other friends live in Pella and I live in little small Otley. Although I will still have one friend with me for the next few weeks before she vacations, there isn't much to do since our party house host will be gone almost the entire summer.

Yes, there are computers, but I know for sure a few of them won't be able to use them where they are going, so sending emails when I get bored and lonely might not exactly help.

I guess this can give me the chance to get closer with some other people, and after all
Distance does make the heart grow fonder.
