It is really tough to find good friends, and when you do, you want to hold on. Hang in there! Hey Darcie…I can imagine how sad this is going to be.

I remembering leaving our best friends in Texas when we moved here to CT. We went out for ice cream, after going out for Mexican food. We used to do that at least twice a month, if not every Saturday night. I knew that I would stay in touch with my friends, but looking around at the kids, and seeing my kids say goodbye to my friends--I realized that it just wouldn't be the same. We grownups don't change that much, but the kids sure do. It's harder to leave than to be left, because when you are the leaver you have your new life to set up. But she'll still need you and will be looking forward to your phone calls and emails. Good friends will always be good friends, regardless of geography. We have been the leavers several times.

Our buds are moving 1 hour away on a good day in NY traffic. Our families have grown up together. Whenever there was a bad storm or something not right in the world, always one of the dads was stuck somewhere else. Therefore, the other picked up the slack. I will always remember the vacations and fun and I am sad to think my grandchildren will not grow up next door in the garage loft like we always joked they would! My days are numbered too.
