NEVER SAY GOODBYE
There is a word that I never liked saying. And now I really don't want to say it, especially to those I love and have known for a lifetime. I remember when my husband died I wrote an essay called "The Long Goodbye". I said it gave the word a whole new meaning, and indeed it does.
I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all the wonderful friends I've met in my lifetime. Some I've had for a lifetime, some have been short time, but all have meant the world to me. I do not know how I could have gotten through some of the rough patches without their support and love. I hope that I have reciprocated in some small way to them.
So to all my friends and family, if I haven't told you lately how very much you've touched my life and nourished my soul, I'm telling you now. I love you. This is not good-bye. It's on to the next chapter, let's remember the good times, not dwell on the sad. Let's be happy we've had each other in our lives and remember the words to the song, "I'll Be Seeing You in all the old familiar places...." Till we meet again.

You are gracious and loving and talented. We are gratified to know you. Keep writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, what Lori said..... and you know me, I could just write and write a whole bunch more starting with "It was a September day in July...." and I will. You have been such an inspiration to me, and most importantly a true, loyal and honest friend. I agree with you in that it doesn't end here but that it goes into the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteYou can never say it often enough.
ReplyDeleteUntil we meet again, my dear friend...
