i didnt except i would have two bestfriends from the same country.
carly & grace
two american girls that couldnt be any similar than peanut butter &jellly ..but somehow it fits.
these girls have beeen my bestfriends since the beginning ..since our first orientation ..until now, until forever.
carly leaves this weeek and then soon after grace
shortly after, i have to pack my bags tooo
i could always imagine the beginning ..and all the struggles in between ..but never in my life could i imagine the end.
but now its here
it sits before me
and every goodbye i say, all the "tchau , beijos, até mais." seeem a little more hard each time.
sometimes impossible.
carly ..a girl from minnesota ..the grandmother of our group
we posed for "an american photo" on september 11, our first meeting and later ran around BH together. i had my first açai with you &your cousin in the shopping ..and cachaça that night too. you had your 19th birthday with 20 other exchangestudents by your side, something no one, especially fatima, will forget. i came to sete lagoas, met your city, your family, and your way of life. that friday night was full of laughter, luisa, & lucky strike.. its bettter left at that. in tiradentes, we explored the city together and felt at the same time, the perfect moment of the night, of the people surrounding us and of the city that glows inside out. araxá with the wedding & goodbye my loverr. we talked of college, our disappearing friends and our fears of going home. then i came back to the city of 7lakes for that one last time..
youre so american to me. you have confidence and knowledge of our country that i lack. i am positive that in whatever field you study, economics or international relations, you will be "having a meeting one afternoon in New York, and then the next day be off to Japan to meet with their prime minister."
like you said at the busstation, youre like my sister. youre one of my bestfriends that i have ever had. i know ill see you soon, carly. (and being 40minutes away from mall of america just gives me an excuse to do that ;D)
grace! amazing grace; amor da minha vida
i knew that when you told me the story of the alien and then later revealed "the face of grace" those few first days ..you would be my bestfriend. no matter what, fatima will always be our worst nightmare & that yellow rainjacket will always be in fashion with you. numbers dont matter to you in men or should i say boys, and frozen will never agree with me. teddybear& bernardo want you, dont worry. all the rotary conference would be utterly boring without you. your português is perfect because you just dont shout up, i say that with all the love. i laugh until i cry when i am with you.
bring back brasil to american high school. you have no other option but to study on the east coast so that you can be just a little closer to mee. and when the money is good, your house in michagen will be my home too; we'll be exchange students once again for that one weeek.
i'll be seeeing you sooon grace :)
the three american girls from district 4520
i'll miss you
i'll always love you
and God Bless America that we are in the same country
