Good Bye...

Saying good bye is hard to do, even when it is just for a little away. Its even harder when you know that it's the last time you'll ever say good bye to someone.

What do you do? Do you say all the things you want to say? Do you say what you think they want to hear? I say, less is more. The simplest of words can mean so much. Saying "Hi" to someone with a smile can drastically change a persons day.

So what do you say to someone when you know it is going to be the last time you see them? You tell them just how you feel in as few words as you can. Its very simple. There are three words that mean so much. They tell a person just how much you care about them. It tells them that no matter how they have made you feel in the past that you forgive them. These little words can change a persons outlook on life. They can say so much more then you want to, and better.

That's exactly how I felt last weekend when I went to Fresno. I knew it would be the last time I saw my aunt. I knew it was our last good bye. A smile. A hug. I love you.

Forever she will be with my nino, my cousin Tracy, my aunt Mary, my grandma, my grandpa, and my baby brother Matthew. In our memories. In our hearts. In our love.
