Losing A Friend

Today I went to a wedding for a girl that I work with. She started last year with me and she got engaged on New Year's, so this entire year she has been planning for the wedding. We would talk about how plans were going, colors, flowers, the whole works. We would come in on weekends and work on our portfolio's together, only to be distracted by looking at her dress on the internet, her honeymoon destination and how she was going to style her hair. Well, before we know it the final week arrives and her time at Montezuma is coming to an end. No more break room chats, eating lunch together or picking up our students from their classrooms. Everyday we would go to each others room just to see how the day was going, what funny things our kids had said or how they were driving us insane. We just instantly meshed together; we were opposites that attracted and now she's gone. It's going to be different from now on. I know next year I'm going to walk to her room expecting her to be there only to see someone else. I'm going to expect to see her at inserves and she won't show. I'm going to save a seat at lunch only to have it stay empty the entire time. It just won't be the same..............
