Saying Good Bye, Parts 2,3 ,4.......

I have been thinking about this post for a long time. What are you suppose to say when you do not feel like talking. What do you do when you walk outside when what was your normal, your everyday has now changed so dramatically. It is funny, when you live in a neighborhood you become so use to the little things- seeing people's cars, watching people come and go that when those things change it is weird and lonely
First we said good-bye to Klaus, Simone, Frederick and Nicholas. There were parties, there was fun, but there was also saying good-bye- and no amount of preparation makes that moment when they drive off any easier.
2 Weeks later, and the day I have been in complete denial about, we said good-bye to Fabi, Joe, Livia, and Camila. Our hearts were broken. I sobbed, Ben cried himself to sleep, Gabe asked when we were flying to Germany, Kevin was sick to his stomach- I hate good-byes. Everything changes, and it is sad. A wise woman I know (who just happens to be Fabi's Mom) said to me, "A vida e' assim! which means life is like that. Life changes, people change, careers change, locations change- It's never easy- but it is life! Life has to go on!
Did I mention- I am still really sad?
