old friends

While running around Discovery Park today I ran into an old friend. I was in the middle of an 9 mile trail run and there she was, my friend Amy LaVare, one of the best Children's Librarians the Seattle Public Library offers. We worked together at the High Point location but since I have been moved over to the Ballard Branch, I haven't seen her in some time. Actually, the last time I did was over beers at the Beverage Place Pub for my going away party, a very bittersweet party. I knew I would be leaving good friends behind as I took the next step in my librarian career, but that still doesn't make it easy saying goodbye. I wish I had the time to really chat with her, to catch up, to check in, but it wasn't the time or place for this.
Amy, you are missed.
