I've got a friend, let's call her Person, that moved here six months after I did.

We met a language exchange cafe and occasionally hang out for beer, or wine, or coffee, or all three.

Now, after one year and six months, she's decided to go back home, home being a country that's currently under sanctions.

We met last night, for one last drink together.

And then we met again, at the airport today.

Because we were both flying out, and we both had flights in the late evening.

Person has a Dachshund dog called Maria.

Maria is very cute. Also very loud. She doesn't bark that often but when she does, glass shatters.

Farewell, Maria.
