It's odd. Soimetimes a "goodbye" is the hardest thing in the world. At other times it is a happy thing tinged with damp eyes.

At present I am facing saying farewell to a dear friend who has taught me much, and who says I have taught him something too. He leaves the "online world" on Saturday, and takes on a new life in a new city during the following few weeks.

In his life has been much trouble. To make up for it there is now much love in abundance. He is surrounded by it and is starting to see and accept it.

He is a young man I respected at once, and will miss deeply. But not "miss"in a selfish way. I will think of him and his new life, and send warm wishes to him and prayers for him, for he has suffered much and has a lot of the suffering to unwind and process and finally dump onto the scrapheap.

He has not been as physically fit as he would like. That is changing because he is working hard at it. He has not been as emotionally fit as he would like. He is working hard at that too.

My sweet friend, I will miss you. So will all who know you. But I will look at the stars and talk to you often
