The final good-bye
I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'
The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.'
They kissed and the daughter left. The Father walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'

Memories
Memories are something we as humans all have. However have you ever noticed that perhaps your memories are not the same as those of whom the memories are of? This has taken some getting used to on my part. And I still don't get it most of the time. When I think of a certain person say, and I get that warm fuzzy feeling about them and how I would love to find out about them and then you do, and you find out that perhaps they were not feeling that warm and fuzzy sensation like you were all those years? It makes me wonder if I am just SUPER DUPER sensitive or way over the top with my heart. I give it entirely to easily. Mind you I am not speaking of a man or a woman , just friends regardless of their sexual gender. Most of my friends are now deceased including a husband and my best girlfriend and my best "guy" friend. Perhaps that has made me clingy. I guess what it comes down to is if you are a true friend of mine, Don't ever expect me to not think about you, wonder about you and hope for you nothing but the best. FOREVER, no miles can keep these thoughts away or these feelings. Just death and for the most part that does not work too well either.Because I just never forget!!!
