Goin' To Carolina

Matthew packed up his rental house on Werner Avenue, and all the boys—Mark, Andrew, Jack and Benjamin—were there to pitch in. We had our going away dinner at Matthew’s favorite Suerte, though Gati Ice Cream was the hit of the night. The next morning, Matthew and Sharon headed out for Durham, NC, following Mark who had left earlier in the Peske truck. It was an emotional farewell for me, feeling like Matthew’s internship year in Austin had passed way too quickly. Mark and I knew he was looking forward to returning to his house, beginning his post-doc at TAP Clinic, and ending the separation from Sharon. We felt so proud and happy for him. And we knew we would work it out to see him real often.
