How do you bid someone a permanent farewell? How do you somehow forget all the times you’ve shared with someone so close to you?

Well, maybe you just don’t.

You don’t let those precious memories fade. You don’t let them slip away. Even if they try to leave, even if it’s for a second, you pull them back.

You thank them. You tell them you appreciate and love them, and that they mean a lot to you.

You say they have helped you with so many things, that they have impacted your life, even if it was just a little bit.

You reassure them that you’ll never forget the times they brought a smile to your face.

You’ll never forget the laughs you shared. You’ll never forget the tears you shed together.
You tell them that it’s not goodbye, but that it’s only the beginning of something new.
