~:[CH11 - Day 194]:~ Until Next Time ...
I was sad to hear that one of my students is moving, yet at the same time glad to hear it before it happened. In a field where we have to part with a group of students we connect with over the course of their four years, you get used to goodbyes. Some come back and visit and stay connect and some, I just hear about randomly. Unexpected departures are sometimes sad because you never really had an opportunity to say goodbye, however, I'm glad I got that chance today. It's never an easy to move in the middle, however, I am confident that he will be able to connect and make friends wherever he goes. A few days ago, I was just thinking about how we all will part ways with so many people in our lives. Sometimes we get these precious opportunities to say goodbye, while others may be so sudden. While in these cases, it's easier as we can stay in touch, I always think about how one day we'll all have to say goodbye to a loved one. It always makes me wonder, have we all said all we've wanted to say? While in many cases, we have time to prepare, in some cases, it happens so suddenly and I hope that in our lives, we give ourselves the opportunity to share all we want before we part ways, temporarily or permanently. Year after year, I will have to continue to say my goodbyes and over time, I'll face the pain of losing loved ones, however, I'll always be sure to remember not to leave those parting words until next time.
