You say goodbye to your son or daughter when they get married
They walk down the asile
Then they are gone
Out of your home
And on their own

You say goodbye at death
But they are at peace
At rest
That is sometimes for the best

You say goodbye when a relationship goes sour
It may be a bore
At first
But goodbye is always gonna be the hardest thing

Cold hands means a warm heart

...and no one really ever prepares us
for the goodbyes...
Thanks for this!

I have often wondered how the word good and
bye could be put together into a word with
so much emotion and feeling tied to it...

Yes, goodbyes are a necessary but very tender
and often sad part of life...Seldom if ever,
and I do mean ever...forgotten..

You are right about this one, Julie...
Goodbye is the hardest word to say...especially when its final...

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) Oh Julie, this is so sadly beautiful, sweet friend, goodbye to me is the saddest word ever put in the dictionary and I too wish I never had to say that word but I have and it makes me cry too! (sad sigh) Despite all the goodbyes, may your life always be filled with many happy hellos too, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
