“No,” I told her without thinking, “I love you.”Uh oh, I thought as I braced myself for her response, I just went really far. But “The Hill” is a powerful testament to the indelibly transformative nature of the Cornell experience. Just as Cornell will always remain with us, we will always remain with Cornell. Early this semester, before we’d taken the leap beyond friendship, I decided a relationship with her was the last thing I wanted from Cornell. Over our years as alumni–and certainly over the next few trying months — my love and I will wake at night and think we hear remembered chimes, ringing out the darkness and ringing in the Christ that is to be.
