Iris made her move to New York in early August, just a week after her and James sealed the deal and got married. It was more than necessary for Kate and I to see Jun off as he makes his move to New York. So a month ago, we booked our flights, coordinated it with Jun and helped carry the only part of his life that he can fit into a suitcase.
What felt like a week of adventures (we were only here for three days) I can say this week will be marked as one of those milestones, as my strongest friendships are with those a coast away. With a great sigh and a heavy heart, I wish Iris and Jun the best of luck in New York as Kate and I continue our lives in San Francisco, only hoping that in a year or two, we can make our move to another town I love. San Francisco, I love you, but New York… oh man New York…
It’s 3:50am, so here I am signing off from New York with 5 minutes to spare in Lauren’s Brooklyn apartment. The L train awaits.
