It was just the other day, and as the car rolled down the driveway, I was left alone again. At that age, when college weighs upon your ever waking hour and a job seems difficult to find, one would think I was happy to be away from my parents. One would believe that I want to be an adult, by myself or with my own friends. I didn't. I found that knowing that I would soon be moving away made me want to stay close to them, for as long as I had time. But it was too late, they had already gone.
