At some point in everybody's life, we have to say "goodbye" to someone or something we love. I have said "goodbye" so many times in my life (a whole 34 years), it amazes me it never gets easier. The number of people/things we've said "goodbye" to increases. The pain or pleasure may vary.
Do you remember your grade one teachers' name? I can remember Allan, breaking my wrist, and Jason; I can't remember my teachers name. I learned how to print the alphabet in a cast.
But regardless, at the end of the year, I thought very little about saying "goodbye". How many teachers do we keep in contact with? I developed empathy around this time. I was overjoyed when I said "goodbye" to our grade six classroom; it was a mobile classroom outside our school.. We had to go outside to the main school if we needed to us the washroom.
But at some point we must say "goodbye" to people and thing. I've said "hello" more times than "goodbye" which is what I try to remember when I say "goodbye".
