Saying Goodbye

It's that dreaded time when you are moving far away when one by one you have to say "So Long, Fair well, Alvederzane, Goodbye" and the farther you go then longer and more drawn out this process can be. It can also be beyond awkward, because there are some people you would rather have received a nice little "Good Luck nice knowing you" text who give you tearful drawn out goodbyes and then there are the ones you wish you could pack in your suitcase and take with you,  because of timing only end up getting a virtual hug.

So to all those who should have a had a hug and missed out I am sending you hugs from across the country:

I hope you can feel it, I am a good hugger you should all know this!

Some are so much easier than others, Thursday's goodbye festival was a pretty sweet deal. I had  drinks with my work colleagues and even though I spend more time with these people some weeks than my own family, it was more fun than sad. Which is good because I know Saturday's goodbyes will rip my heart out. 

Monday's goodbye was the most difficult, and I knew it would be regardless of the circumstances. After a cold cup of tea, and freshly brewed coffee pickup at Second Cup, a random drive around town, 2 Sobeys parking lot discussions and a split of Spicy Tuna and California Rolls it was that time. It was the first of what I will predict of many tear filled goodbyes. Of course I provided the water works because that is my area of expertise and he provided the support I can always count on. The best advice was to give it 6 months, that I can do anything for 6 months. I was told to text always about the big things and whenever I needed help picking out a TV or a Car (that was never my thing), to call when I am homesick and know that he will alway be there no matter what.  What can I say a best friend is a best friend not matter what you have been through together. They always know how to make you feel like the the leap you are about to take is never as scary as it may seem. I will never forget that night.


Oh goodness I see many tearful evenings ahead.

Note: I have decided this will be a weekly blog with every once in a while a random post here and there is something so exciting I need to share it with the universe pops up. I will post every Wednesday evening, and the post will include my goings on here and hopefully a photo display of all the beautiful things and people I am experiencing life with.
