Saying Goodbye

Today I had to say goodbye to my brother because he has to go back to Ohio in order to work. I didn't want to because I love having my brother around (even if he does occasionally get on my nerves), but I did anyway. I hate goodbyes. They're always hard. Knowing you're leaving or being left by someone and won't be able to see them for a while if ever is always tough. I guess I should be used to it by now considering how many times I've left places and people, and I guess I kinda am, but that doesn't make it any easier. And, why should it? Being separated from people you care about should never be easy. If it is then something is definitely wrong. God created us with a need and desire to be with people (especially ones we love). Even I, who loves to be myself, still need the company and relationships with others. We would have a pretty lonely life if each of us were left on our own. Lucky for us though we aren't. God saw that we were lonely, so he gave us companionship with each other. It's a cool thing. Unlucky for us though we can't always stay together. We sometimes (or oftentimes) have to be separated from families and friends and are forced to go through the grueling process of saying goodbye.
