Good Bye Alfred

I have an appointment tonight to have my poor mucocele removed...that's right, there is a hint of sadness in that statement. You see, over the last month I have grown a special bond with my mucocele. Yeah sure at times, I'd get mad when Alfred (that's his name) wouldn't let me laugh at a co-worker's funny joke or smile for a picture. BUT Alfred has been there for me everyday to bite on when anxious, curious, frustrated, etc. Not my fiancee, not my best friend, not even my mom has been there for me in the way that Alfred has for the last month. Tonight it will be tough to say good-bye to Alfred, but just like any other passing of a close one, I have to be strong and go on with my life once he leaves. It's what Alfred would have wanted.
