One of the hardest things to do in life is to say goodbye. Even when we see individuals every single day of the week, it is still difficult to say goodbye. Even though we are all connected by apps on our phones that can connect us in an instant. We are given the chance to call our grandparents everyday but yet sometimes it is still hard to say goodbye. This is not something that is new. When I was I little girl, most kids would cry when they had to leave their parents I would cry when I had to leave my grandparents. Do not get me wrong, I love my parents very much but I would always have so much fun on the farm. I loved it there and I never wanted to leave. It was always so hard to say goodbye.

Just like it was hard then it is still hard now, whenever my friend comes back from college, it makes me so sad to watch her leave. Or when I get to see my friend who now lives in Florida, the fantastic weekend comes to a bitter end when I have to let them go back. I could call whenever I wanted too, check in whenever I had the chance, but for some reason life usually gets in the way. We cherish the moments we have with the people we love, and the reason it is so hard to say goodbye is because we do not know then we will get the chance to see them again, to be able to spend quality time with them again. Our lives prevent us from spending time with the things we hold dear. I do not believe that saying goodbye is ever going to get any easier. Maybe for one person in our lives it will, because we will decide to never have to say goodbye to them and they will put a circle around one of your fingers. And one day you will joke around to your kids that you wish you could some days, but until we make that one exception, goodbyes will always have a sour taste, Maybe as our generations continue to get smarter and smarter, they will find something to make them a little better, bittersweet perhaps. Until then, make time to spend time and talk to those who matter to you.
