"Goodbye'ing"

    I am sure everyone has been through some "goodbye'ing". During Christmas break i had to choose to leave my friends at school. It was one of the hardest choices of my life so far. I loved them all, they were family to me. So many great relationships and knowledge came out of the school. I will never ever forget them.
    The other day i went back to the co-op i used to go to and i got the warmest welcome EVER! It made me cry, missing everyone. The tightest huggs were given to me and i felt so much love, i almost burst!
    During my year and a half there, i had always smiled every time i walked through the doors; wether i had a bad morning or not. I realize now that it was the presence of God radiating out of every heart. I realized i really would miss the place that made me cry over stress so many times.
    I could tell that God was guiding my steps. He put me there and He took me out. He put the people there in my life for strengthening when it was needed. He gave me so many strong relationships that i will treasure in my heart forever. Never will i forget the people that stretched their arms wide to receive me as their friend.
