Las Tres Amigas No more.

Have you ever had that best friend who was so oddly like you but in such a different way? A friend that held your hand through all the tough times in your life. A friend that wouldn't let you look like a fool alone, but would join in so we'd look like fools together. I have that friend. In fact, I have two of those friends. How lucky am I!?
  We call ourselves "Las Tres Amigas". I met them both in high school. Almost instantaneously our friendship emerged from nowhere. Perhaps it was the fact that we were little freshmen eagerly searching for friendship. Or maybe it was the inner obsession over Star Trek that brought us together (although at the time, we were still unaware of each others obsession). It could have been anything but the fact of the matter is, we stuck like glue. All three of us just clicked all too easily. Man, was it hard to unclick us! But there was something strong enough to separate us. College.
  I've always heard that after college, you lose many if not all of your friends. You go your separate ways and you make new friends. Well, with all the communication devices we have now and days, it may be a little tougher to prove those statistics. But today is the day that I fear for that to be true.
   One of my best friends is leaving today for Colorado. She's off to do great things! I'm extremely happy for her. But, whether we know it or not, that may be the start of a  slowly disintegrating friendship. Yesterday Las Tres Amigas got together to go for some ice cream. Our last meal? I doubt it. But it was sad. I hid my emotions well, but nearing the end of our little hangout, I nearly slipped up. Sometimes its better not to cry when a friend leaves. Crying may be a form of confirming our thoughts of a breaking friendship. Yes crying shows our love too, but we can show our love for them in other ways. I'll miss her greatly and I'm sure it wont be that last time I see her but,  I'd rather give her a hug and a smile than a tear.
