Oh my long lost friend!
I can't believe that some people have "500 Days" of you, but I only get 90 (if you are on your best behavior). I miss you, and it has only been a few days since I last saw you. Society calls that love. When someone leaves you, there is the emptiness that one has to fill. I guess I will just have to do that by filling the hollowness with memories.
I was just thinking about the good times we had as I sat outside and read. You sat by me, and when I began to feel alone, you always had the sun tap me to remind me you were there. Thanks for that! We read a lot of books together. Whether it was about a former boy who lived in the world of Polygamy, the first couple books about Narnia, the "this novel is based on my life, which is a reality show in LA," and a story about a son finding his dad in Katrina aftermath. There was also the hilarious life of a singer, being a Christian in Hollywood, and several magazines about technology and music.
I must apologize to you. As much as you wanted to get together at the pool, we only met twice. :( I am a bad friend I know. Perhaps I was just getting revenge because the best Sno-Cone place closed its doors for the summer. I have to say that really put a damper on how much tigers blood I could load myself on.
So what are your plans next year? Will you still be stopping by about the same time? I hope you can get here a little earlier... because the delay that you took with your friend Rain N. Crummy, really was bad. Several people thought you would never show, but after a few Facebook status updates and hope, you came around.
In closing, I just wanted to thank you for always being there and for being perfect in several situations. You were perfectly behaved for my two best friend's wedding, you were dancing along to Good Girls Gone Bad, and singing to Waking Up in Vegas. We even ran into each other a few times at the movie theater and watching Felicity growing up in college.
I wish you the best as you venture on your journey around the world! Please keep in touch and I hope that you will always remember the time we had together!
Thanks for being you!
Best,
C.

This is tender and almost made me cry...seriously, it would make a fabulous column!
I second Liz. Tear.... (sniff) (sniff)... This is so good though. Very creative.
This does make me miss summer and all the fun times. Brought back a lot of memories.
LOL!! -- Dear Chism: * Sigh* do I dare admit I have been basking in the coolness of fall loving the prospect of turning leaves and carving pumpkins? .... Ohhh Chism - I am so relieved summer is over, and so sad you are feeling a loss... - I had the wierdest funniest dream about you last night -- I dreamed you were fluffing up Jack's hair in perfect curls and preparing him for a dog beauty pagent.. I know: wierd.
luv your guts!
Dear Autumn:
I'm so glad you're here! Please help me cheer up Small/Pebble/Uncovered--one of his best friends left for about 9 months. I hope we can help him make the most of the next 3 months. And please postpone your business with Mr. Freezemaster and Mr. Rain N. Crummy as long as possible so that we can have tons of activities.
Your biggest fan,
Jon
