saying goodbye Ep2
Jane
My first day going to College. My bags were all packed and I was ready to take on the world. Well honestly I was not that excited to go, I would much rather work full time so I can open my own pizza restaurant.
Jane
I want to completely change the way people think about pizza, it’s not just bread, tomatoes, meat and cheese. I look at it as a Canvas. I want to make the weirdest unusual tastiest pizza anyone has ever had. Pizza has always been in my childhood. Auntie and me would have our special Friday pizza, every week we would make special pizzas that no one else would make. Pizza reminds me of family and to look at things that might seem simple and ordinary, but have a lot of potential.
Jane
I didn’t leave any friends behind at my old school. I never made friends that stuck around very long, I’m hoping that this time I’ll make a true friend
Jane
Auntie made me a special breakfast this morning.
Jane
“Auntie you didn’t have to go all out for my first day”
Aunt Nelda
“I know, I know. I just wanted you to start the day off good”
Aunt Nelda
“You won’t be living here anymore, So I have to give you something special to remember me by”
Jane
She opened her hand revealing a bracelet
Aunt Nelda
“I thought about wrapping it but felt like this would be more of a surprise”
Jane
I noticed on the tiny silver chain that there are little butterflies on it. I love butterflies
Jane
“Auntie it has butterflies on it! You really do know me”
Aunt Nelda
“Of course I know you the best”
Jane
“Can you move closer to the college so I don’t have to leave you home alone?”
Aunt Nelda
“Oh you know I can’t leave this house where me and your Mom lived together when we went to college together”
Jane
“I know but… won’t you be lonely here?”
Aunt Nelda
“I’ll be alright. I’m far to busy to be lonely anyway”
Jane
That’s what I’m worried about. You always keep yourself busy so you don’t feel lonely.
Jane
“When I graduate and come back, and open the pizza restaurant. We will work together every day. So don’t be sad or lonely”
Aunt Nelda
“I’m looking forward to the day”
Aunt Nelda
“Now enough talking you need to eat up”
Jane
I eat as much as I could so Auntie would be happy.
Jane
The time had come, I put my suitcase in the taxi and hugged my Aunt goodbye
Aunt Nelda
“I love you butterfly. Stay safe and don’t forget to eat well”
Jane
“Thank you for everything Auntie. I love you so much”
Jane
I squeezed her tight and let go of the hug. I saw she was trying to hold the tears in her eyes
Aunt Nelda
“By by now, hurry you don’t want to miss the tour“
Jane
“Take care Auntie. I’ll call you every day”
Aunt Nelda
“No no, you’ll be to busy for that. Let’s talk every Friday”
Aunt Nelda
“Go now don’t be late”
Jane
She practically pushed me into the car.
Jane
We both wave bye as the car drives away.
Jane
A tear fell down my cheek as I sadly wipe it away
Jane
“Be strong, for Auntie”
