the aftermath of my mid-life in England crisis.
It's after 11 o'clock, and I just woke up. It's the latest I've slept all semester. Perhaps it is because I know that this time when I get up everything in our room will be normal but as soon as I open the door all there is... is quiet. Casey sleeps, it's been a tiring semester and I don't want to wake her. But it's mostly because I know that the longer she sleeps the less time she has to spend filling the emptiness. We had to say our first goodbyes last night, and the rest followed early this morning. We'll be ok, we've got the Wiggins... but the silence is deafening.
