Goodbyes....

Goodbyes are always hard but it seems the older I get the more they hurt...My Baby brother comes every year to see me for 2 weeks around the same time and with each year the Goodbyes are harder and harder. We are close, and we enjoy alot of the same things so by the time he leaves I am so use to him being around and then it's time for him to go...

When I said my "Goodbyes" to family and friends 15 years ago to move here to Florida it was really hard. The out pouring of friends and family was amazing. My Best Friend Anne, threw me a going away party at her parents house, the house is BIG and I guess it had to be because there was over 200 people there to wish me well. I don't think I will ever see that again in my lifetime. I left a very special group of people. And to this day I may never see that again, not like that party. It is something I will never forget.........sometimes I ask myself, "Why did I leave"? But I needed to make this work and I think I did and to this day I can still say I am friends/Family with almost each and everyone still...and that is my Greatest accomplishment!
