Goodbye....Goodbye

Technical issues have delayed recent posting.

I was watching a recent episode of Grey's Anatomy entitled "Thanks for the memories." It was a Thanksgiving episode. It ended with the lead character Meredith saying goodbye to her former boyfriend. Meredith says, "Goodbye Derek." He replies, "Goodbye, Meredith." It brought me back to the goodbye I had with E. It happened on the day I moved. We were living in an apartment building in separate apartments. I worked as a caretaker there and had helped her get into the building. She broke up with me after two years of chaotic on/off again relationship. She started dating a heavy metal type guy she met in a bar. She just blew me off until I confronted her. She admitted it was over after I saw her with him.

The day I moved out I ran into her in the lobby. I told her I was moving that day. We had that exact same awkward goodbye scene. The only difference is in the show Grey's Anatomy it is obvious Meredith and Derek still love each other. I was just the fourth guy E. had entangled at the same time in her world. The four were me, her ex-husband[my ex-best friend], the father of her son and her new boyfriend. It would have been a great Jerry Springer episode. I know objectively that I am better off without her. It still hurts four years later.

Goodbye E.

peace
