Goodbyes
No one escapes the goodbyes
Goodbye to the first one who held your heart and broke it
Goodbye to friends intertwined through life’s changing seasons coffee dates and open hearts
Goodbye to grown children forging their own paths advice too late to be given or received
Goodbye to pursuit of career youthful glow, perfect health, and what was once physically possible
Goodbye to eating at whim, sleeping undisturbed through the night innocent expectations of a peaceful night’s rest
Goodbye to aging parents Sunday afternoon phone calls sharing the pits and peaks of an average week
No one can fully prepare for these losses
No one can escape the goodbyes
