Letting Go

(NOTE: This post has been edited from the original post)
A couple of very dear friends are moving away.  Not together, not even at the same time, nor anywhere near the same place--in fact, in completely opposite directions.  But far away.  A plane ride away.  One soon and one a little further down the road. 

Good friends are not just a dime a dozen.  It takes awhile for a friendship to take on that special level of trust, intimacy, and love.  When feeling sentimental, isn't it nice to listen to the old songs from the Great American Songbook?

There are, of course, far worse ways of losing friends than moving. Still it is a kind of loss. At 93 my dad kept telling me all his friends were dead. It was a while before I learned he had a girlfriend. :)

Oh, I so agree. And it will certainly give me an excuse to hop on a plane now and then. That is such a sweet story about your dad. It gives hope to us all.
