Admission: Today I met up with Elie one last time before she flies off to New York City to attend Columbia grad school. It was a surreal day because we were comparing the stark contrast of where we are now to where we were when we met-- easily the darkest times in both of our lives. It brings up a lot; the struggles that we faced, that we continue to face but have learned through the hardest work we both have ever done how better to combat, the responsibility to combat, sometimes the reluctancy to combat. It also forces us to recognize the remarkable growth we've both achieved; her moving to NY, one step closer to becoming a life saving doctor, me moving to LA, one step closer to who knows what. Regardless, I know that I will have Elie in my heart and in my life forever, and for that I am eternally grateful.
