Absence

       "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends." - Richard Bach


       Today is not a good day... For various reasons, I have none of the mental acuity that is usually in my possession. I shall be brief.
       It is hard to say goodbye to a friend, and I think it does not become any less devastating with repetition. Such has been my experience thus far, at least. And I do believe I have had a large enough number of farewells in my life to be in a position to pass judgement. (I shall say again that, as ever, I may be wrong about all of this.)
       I do know, however, that there are few more heart-warming moments, than when you meet a person close to you after a long absence. It is always something to look forward to with great impatience and trembling hope.

  1. Me hates goodbyes, as they always make me cry at airports and have people stare at me. But, hey, maybe that's a good thing?

  2. When you say 'that's a good thing', do you mean the staring? :)
