today was my last day at work. as i was getting ready for work in the morning, i had an emotional moment. any other day, it would have been mundane, but that's exactly what made my routine special this morning - i felt so aware that it would be my last time doing the things i've become so accustomed to doing.
i was aware of packing my lunch and my backpack, driving to the train station, taking the metro, walking to work, and then my routine at work.
it was a really full day and i managed to get through the day without any tears. i packed up everything and made my rounds saying goodbye to people. there were some moments when i felt the tears welling up, but i pushed them back and stopped myself. finally, i returned to my office and thought, "i think i made it without crying".
but as i said my final goodbye, of course they came.
i cried and she cried. then i left the office. i cried all the way down the elevator, on the walk to the station, and on the train. then i cried some more at home. then a few hours later i cried some more telling will about my day over the phone.
the floodgates have opened. it has begun.
