Truth on Tour: 2.7

Goodbye's are always rough;

Working with so many talented people in such a short amount of time—you develope a unique artistic bond.

Emotions are high; our paths have crossed for a special reason, and I'm sure we'll cross again.

Until then, I hold fond memories.

Now, back to my family!

Goodbye Parties

Goodbye Parties are brutal.
Emotions are high,
Too much alcohol,
Clicks of friends meeting the "secret" friends,
Dancing, dancing, crying, dancing,
MORE alcohol!
The long walk home and the hangover in the morning.
So long good friend, I hope you'll stay in touch!

Airport Goodbyes

Once again at an airport.

I've always associated airports with sadness-

Despite the fact that happy times come from visiting family and friends,

Not to mention awesome vacations...

Yet my lasting memories of airports is always from the end of a wonderful visit.

Saying goodbye.

This trip is especially difficult, because I had to say goodbye to my gram for the last time.

I'm always thankful for new adventures, but going to the airport is always bittersweet.

I've spent my adult life leaving people curbside.

I'll never get used to it.

But I'm learning to deal with it.

...very slowly.

Goodbyes Are Hard!

No matter how old I get, or how long I've been away from home...
Saying goodbye to my loved ones is painful.
I made a promise to myself a few years back that I would not spend time feeling sad about leaving home- it's the choice I've made to follow my dreams. It's a rough sacrifice, but as long as I continue to pursue my goals, I have to accept the pain.
But as I watch my grandparents, aunts, uncles, mom, dad, sister and even my niece grow older, saying goodbye becomes a lot harder!
In the end, I know we've all worked hard to appreciate the time we have together, however fast and furious it was!
