Goodbye to Romance/Provo

An artist once said, "Goodbye to romance, goodbye to friends, goodbye to all of this." That's how I feel as I prepare to leave Provo and return to WA. I've had such a good time here with school and working. My friend's I made will last a lifetime. I've certainly learned a few things about myself and working/living with others. I enjoyed everything from lots of parties, to sporting events, to basically working as a pro-bono adviser to a scrapbooking company-for a class project that worked out better than I thought it could.
I've ended treatment for my cancer-my oncologist and neurologist comfirm that any treatment is not curative, so no need to prolong the inevitable at this point. I am feeling better than I have for awhile. I have more energy, and am spending less time with my best friend, the TV. I really have taken a lot of solace recently in listening to the messages in music, from artist's you don't expect-including the still incredibly lucid Ozzman. He has reminded me today that's it's okay to say goodbye to places and friends because "we'll meet in the end."
