Dear Eugene –

It has been too long since my feet have walked on your pothole ridden streets. Your dark skies and misty weather would sooth my lonely soul. For I know that after months of clouds and rain will come a flurry of color and beauty.

I miss the way I can get to any meeting on time even if I’m running late. I miss your hills and valleys, your cantankerous neighborhood groups and your farmer’s market. Your view of mountains on a clear day, and your year round temperate climate.

I miss your drunken duck fans and Saturdays spent at Autzen. I miss the friends, family, and likeminded people that also call you home.

I love you Eugene, and I’m sorry I ever considered leaving you. I’ll be back soon.

Your Native Son
– Will
