Something I Learned and Wrote About Goodbyes

Today is the day that we are to remember the souls of our loved ones.

We remember them with good memories that make us smile and be thankful that we were able to celebrate life with them. They made our lives meaningful together with all those other people that make the pieces of our life's puzzle complete.

As we visit our loved ones on their graveyards yesterday and today, aside from praying for their souls, let us thank Him for giving us the chance to spend time with these beautiful people of our lives.

We all know that no matter how long they have gone, part of us still feels the pain of letting them go. Goodbyes are really not that easy to accept, and all of us have to deal with it more than once in our lifetime.

In one of the books I read, I was inspired to write an article about goodbyes. Even if you haven't read the book yet, I know that you are familiar with them because it is a true story that happened here in our country. "In The Presence of My Enemies" is written by Gracia Burnham to tell us their story. Early in the book, I was touched by this quote:

"Girl, your whole life is going to be a series of goodbyes. You've got to get your act together if you're going to survive in the future. I determined never again to let goodbyes devastate me as they had this time."

And this quote made me write the article, Goodbye, Summer!
