Good quote. Saying goodbye is hard to do especially when someone has passed, but I know we'll see them again.
While we're here on earth though we usually meet new people, have new opportunities to meet new peope or the birth of a new baby will take the place of the person you said goodbye to.
So true. Thanks Lisa. There are also people we allow to stay in our lives who shouldn't be in our lives because they're not good for us because they bring us down.
We hold on to people because we're afraid to let go, but letting go will open the door on new opportunities for us to meet new people, who will treat us correctly.

That is a nice quote; simple but just spot on.
I think so too. Thank you!
Sometimes it does take bravery to say goodbye, especially when you're leaving an old life behind and saying hello to a new uncertainty.
Thanks Tim. I agree… that and courage to believe we can go through with it.
