Lists, Thank yous and goodbyes

So I'm thinking as a going away present for my friends I'm going to compile a sort of thank you list. Not like I'm dying or anything... more so that I want them to know that I appreciate the value they've brought to my life. A little token of the now. People drift apart and change directions in life... I want to make sure to appreciate the Now.

Here's a little list of impressions and shared moments/tidbits that I've jotted down about some of the people in my life... yea yea it's alphabetical, but it was just easier that way.
