I can't think of a good song. Aside from "going away to college", but that's more about girlfriends or something.
Anyway, the point here is that Evan is moving out tomorrow. That's right. And living 100 miles away. So goes college.
I'm certain Evan's life is going to change drastically...of course it will, this is a totally new and different time in his life. See, thing is, my life is going to also be changing quite a bit.
For my entire childhood, Evan's always been there. We're basically best friends and it's pretty much always been that way. I know he's talked about our relationship a little in his blog, and everything he's said, I echo. We've always told eachother everything. And if not for Evan, there's a half-decent chance I'd be kind of an anti-social loser at school (not that I'm Mr. popularity, but you get the idea).
And now? He'll be gone? I don't think I've fully thought about what that's gonna be like. I'm basically an only child from here on out...and I'm going to have to fend for myself. It makes sense that I'd have to start being more independent. And maybe more reliant on my friends for companionship. Maybe get a girlfriend?(ha!)
It's not like those things are going to make up for his absence. Man it's going to be weird. I'm not going to know how until a while from now. Well, anyway, thanks, Evan, for a great 15 years. I hope college goes well, I really do, and I'm praying for you.
Goodbye, and...I'll see you around.

When Erin went to college, I felt much the same way. Although we aren't the only two kids in our family as you and Evan are, she was really the only person in the family I could really talk to at that point. You're right, it's a change and it's scary, but you would be surprised how much you will be in contact with eachother. He's not gone for good. Phone, meessanger, blogs, even letters if you're up to it; it's not the same, I know, but it helps. You're also right about relying on friends. I imagine you'll do more things with friends than you did before. You're already going to the lock-in. I know when Erin left I found this whole new support system among friends. Also 100 miles seems like a lot, but it's not, he can come home and he will. Don't worry, pray. Keep doing the things you're already doing.
