saying goodbye

oh dear,
i thought it was bad enough me getting emotional about leaving here.
This morning, the subject was only briefly brought up, but soon my friend was in tears. Not sure how i'm gonna cope with making more people cry (not intentionally obviously) in the coming few weeks.
dear me. i'd better stock up on some kleenex, or more to the point, go to Sendai and try and pick up as many free packets of tissues as poss (that they give out as forms of advertising)...
