Instructions For Saying Goodbye
It is never easy to say goodbye. To take a path away from your friends and loved ones. To leave home behind. It is important to cry. Not only tears of heartache, but tears from fear of stepping into the unknown. Acknowledge the facts. You may never see these people again, but embrace them while you can. Smile down at the dog fur on your clothes. Retrace the familiar routes and savor the air you have acquainted yourself with. Ride around town and park in the spot with the peculiar divot. Grab a coffee from the café that knows your order. Stroll through the grocery store that smells like steamed carrots and mackerel. Throw a party. Retrieve the camera from the back of the storage closet. Enjoy the silence. Realize that goodbyes are transitions. Transitions to new hellos.
