Thy Eternal Summer

"Thy Eternal Summer shall never fade."
~ William Shakespeare

Good ole Will. This seems to be a really fitting line from Sonnet 18 as the Summer comes to a close. (It is still plenty hot in Michigan, but September and school is creeping up!) The problem with Shakespeare is that we have to be careful assuming what he is talking about. Without taking a Shakespeare class or devoting a good amount of time to his literature, many word choices, puns, and so on fly right over our heads. I can't claim to be an expert, and that was pretty much my disclaimer.
Bringing me to my point: this simple line is full of meaning. Summer lasts forever. Not literally, of course, but in our memories. This has been a great summer for me, and I hope for you too. Everything that has happened remains in our minds - we may tear up or laugh our asses off, but no matter what, these Summer memories really are eternal. If there could be a tribute to all the experiences of the season, all the fun times, funny situations, friendly arguments, confusing jokes, priceless moments, sad departures and reminiscing, this would be it for me. I just wanted to share it, hoping it has some meaning for everybody who shared their Summer with others, or even spent valuable time with themselves.
