I'm sure it feels lonely, knowing that someone you're close to has come and gone from here.

[Hopefully, though, that simply means he'll be waiting for her to come home...]

I'll have to keep her in mind for any group activities in the future, but it does look an awful lot like there are plenty of people around who are more than happy to help keep her company. [If the turn out for the party is any indication, anyway.] She seems like a very sweet and well loved girl.
