I just spent a great evening with some of my dearest friends. Good food and conversation were a plenty. The occasion that brought us together, some would consider to be a sad one. But as I reflect on it, I would disagree. One of my friends is moving to another state. And as much as it bums me out that she won’t be around as much, I know that this is a good choice for her. I have been lucky to watch her grow and mature into a awesome woman that I am more than honored that she calls me friend.
But what really struck me as odd, is that as we hugged and said our goodbyes, I didn’t feel the sadness of loss or fear. Instead I had a sense of confidence that this is only another step on our journey together. I know that there might be gaps in our interactions and face time might be non-existent. But I also KNOW that when we have opportunity to connect again that our friendship will still be as solid as always.
And as we all know, life gets in the way. But it doesn’t have to be the end of the great things that make life worth living.
