Saying Goodbye

The first time I went to church after moving to Charlottesville,
The Sunday after Christmas, 
Smiling Jenny opened the door in welcome. 

Now, after a decade or more of trying,
Her neurosurgeon husband has a 
Surgery residency

In another state. 

I went to say goodbye, 
And there she was, holding the door open
And smiling,

A bookend to these last eight and a half years.
