Sarah O.
Sarah devoted an entire post to her missing me.
In addition to my comment, I sent her an email:
Dear beautiful Sarah,
Thank you for the post telling everyone (and me) you're thinking of me. I'm thinking about you and missing you tons over here. Athens is a nice town, but it's also a big ol' piece of empty without you nearby. And, yeah, I'm kinda regretting not more actively cherishing (i.e. pursuing) spending time with you when it was easier. My penance is to make sure to commit small acts of writing near and around you.
As ever, I'm struggling with academic writing (a conversation for another time) but right now I'm driven to carve out a writing space that is personal and frequent. You seem to have hit upon a massive sweet spot over there in Washington, so you are my hero and model, just as you always have been.
With love,
Johnnie
Though she's not here, I remember her presence, vitality, and beauty so intensely I almost feel that she is here, that remote as we are from each other, she is palpable to me now.
