Say Goodbye

I don't remember the last time I got into a car when I was leaving a place and cried. But then, I never had Frodo looking at me disbelievingly from a window. He was so frantic and jumpy when I went to kiss him good bye. But, when he saw me walking to the car, he was so still. Even when I waved and gestured at him to go up to the terrace. Every time, I think of his spotted boxer face framed by that window, my heart breaks a little.

And then, there was The Thing and the Punjabi Gentleman who made me feel so welcome as soon as I got there. The first day that I was there, I thought, oh my God, I've come home And, I remember thinking before I left, I'm so glad they found each other because they're just perfect for each other. I can't wait to go back.
