Big Al’s Blog: 1,200 miles away

I’ve never had a girlfriend that had to leave for 3 years. No, she’s not going to prison. She is moving to Detroit to complete her fellowship in plastic surgery. In 3 years, she will be a full-blown plastic surgeon. That part is exciting, but the suckie part is that she is leaving. Ok, I cried some. And so did she. And I want to apologize to the customers in the bar last night. I think I sang about 10 songs to try to get myself in a better mood. But it didn’t work. I was still sad. Over the last 4 years, we did everything together. And now, we will have to figure out how to live our lives 1200 miles away from each other.

She will start this new chapter in her life today and we are 1095 days from her coming back. That seems like forever but we will just take it 1 day at a time. That’s really all we can do. I’m super proud of her and all that she is doing. I love you baby!
