So, this week I had to say a tough goodbye. We'd been together for almost 20 years, and while it was a great time, I knew our relationship was going downhill. For the past year or so I convinced myself we could still be together, that a change wasn't necessary, but finally, on Monday, I knew it was time to say goodbye. Diet Coke, I'm sorry. It's not you - it's me. Well - actually - it's a lot about you. Ya see, I had my first sip of your so sweet yet calorie free self just about 20 years ago. I was a high school senior convinced I needed you to keep the weight off and my eyes open. I'll be honest - it wasn't love at first sight - you tasted pretty TERRIBLE. :-) But then you kinda grew on me and I couldn't stay away. And for years - you served your purpose well. Not a day went by that I didn't turn to you - late night study sessions, early morning classes, mid day pick ups - you were always there for me. Cold, refreshing, bub...
