Here come the tears. Literally.

"There are good ships and wood ships,
ships that sail the sea,
but the best ships are friendships,
may they always be!"

This made me choke up a bit after I read it.
But I wasn't sad for too long because I saw that it was an Irish Proverb.
Then I imagined a leprechaun saying it, and it made me laugh.

Everything is going to be okay. We'll all stay in touch.
I KNOW it. We get along much too well to just move on,
and try to forget about each other. But honestly, who would try to forget?
We have the greatest memories. And they're strong. Probably stronger than diamonds.
No, wait. They ARE stronger than diamonds, and from what I hear, those things are pretty strong. And valuable. So is our friendship circle.

So here's to growing up, because I know we'll all be doing it simultaneously and together.
