The farewells that draw you closer...

[Jennifer5]

Have you ever felt like... it's when you finally have to say good-bye or even just think about saying good-bye to someone, that you discover how much you love them?

(does that question make sense?)


Thusday night was my school's 8th grade graduation. Friday was the last day of school and my sister and I, and 3 others won't be returning to the school next year. We all really want to stay in touch, but that doesn't always happen. Even though some of us have gone through our long periods of not wanting anything to do with each other, we all (the 5 and also several others) end up hugging and wanting to start crying.

We probably won't lose touch, but the situation brought us together. The idea of losing each other gave us the reality-check that we had something good, that we didn't want to let go of.




Just a thought, the farewells that draw you closer... odd idea, it's far better than 'not knowing what you had, until it's gone'... so I guess it's no really a farewell, just a see you later... but either way...
:love:


Alrighty, I'm very very sorry, it's midnight and I'm tired, so I hope that this made some sense. Ask me to clarify parts if they don't make sense.

I've been there, and it does make sense. It's kind of like you need to make a decision about EVERYONE about whether you're going to make a conscious effort to still hang out, or let people drift away. And I tend to have this habit of finding at least one person that it would be awkward to start hanging out with, but who I discover is totally cool and I should have spent more time with (and, sometimes, they have a habit of popping back up in my life, so I guess it all evens out?).

oh sweetie,
Yes we all realize what we lose when we say goodbye to people we have known. There was a saying I heard a while back that said that there are people who are forever in your life, and those that come along, serve a purpose and then are gone. Thank God for those forever people and for those temporary people. Treasure what they have contributed to your life. You were and are loved.;)
