I'm almost done writing the goodbye letters. My God, I haven't cried this much...ever!
As I re-read the letters, I find that I'm not saying goodbye--I'm saying I love you. I've shared some measure of genuine friendship with each of these people. I've tried to describe for them the special place that they held in my world. I've thanked them for sweetening my existence. I hope that I've chosen just the right words.
Why now, tho? Why have I decided to express all these lovely sentiments on my way out? Why didn't I write these things in a Christmas or birthday card, or just say them out loud?
Yes, I've had rich relationships with some extraordinary people.
Rich enough to make me want to stick around?
No. Sorry.
crying again...
