My best friend just up and moved across the country the other day.

Didn't even get to say goodbye; I only wish I did.

We said goodbye over IM, which is hardly the same thing, but it was still a hard thing to do.

I've lost a few people now to cancer, and they were very emotional times in my life. The hardest thing about goodbyes is that you have to let go, no matter how much you don't want to.
