It's always tough to say goodbye to people that are leaving, especially when they mean so much to you. This past year alone, I've had 3 such people move away and recently I found out that a 4th is leaving. This last person is someone very dear to me, so while I'm sad to see them go, I'm comforted by the thought that I know that they will be very happy with their move. Still, it's always hard to let go of the ones you really care about.

Now, even though I don't speak to this person very often, and will probably speak to them about the same once they leave, there was always that comforting feeling knowing that they were just around the corner from me and there were chances for those little things - a movie, a cup of coffee, a walk.

If I don't say goodbye, maybe they won't go?
