A Farewell

It’s like a bomb went off.  Even if you haven’t been near a place where a bomb went off you know that everybody has a before and an after story. It’s the same here.  We are all different.  We have all been changed.  Some for the better, and some we are not quite sure for what.  Some of us have been changed by marriage, some by infidelity, some by break ups or the lack of it, and some of us by age, or the lack of it.  The truth is no matter how hard we try we can never go back.  Sure we will remember fondly the days when we were all together, sadly they can never be recreated.  There is too much baggage and hurt feelings.  There are too many things left unsaid that needed to be said, and too many things said that can never be taken back.  We have to learn to say goodbye.  And that is why I close the curtain on that era of my life, it has forever changed me.  I broke free with most of my sanity and for that I am grateful. I promise to visit every now and then but I promise not to linger. So dim the lights and clear the theater, because this part of the play is officially over.
