blue_lotus13 | A little sadness today

Yesterday I came home after dance class to find a message on my answering machine from my esthetician. I have been going to the same woman for the whole time I've lived in Edmonton. I get my brows and other waxing done at a spa near my house, but I have built up a relationship and a friendship with one woman there. I always requested her specifically and we'd talk a lot about our lives as she did my waxing. Well, she left a message on my phone to tell me that today (Saturday) is her last day at the spa. She is not going to another spa, but is moving on to something other than esthetics. She also said that she wanted to let me know that she was leaving, and to tell me that she has really enjoyed getting to know me over the past couple of years.

I was very touched by her phone call, but I feel sad that I'm not going to see her any more. I know this may seem weird or trivial, but you can build up a very personal relationship with someone who does your hair, or your waxing, or gives you massages or reiki. Fortunately, my mom called right afterward, and I was able to talk to her about my feelings. But I still feel a little sad today. I might buy some flowers and take them to her, since it's her last day today...
