Saying goodbye.

I hate saying goodbye. I know there is e-mail, Facebook, phones, webcam, texting, IM, the list goes on and on. Nothing is the same as "in person". The real thing. Actually talking with a friend face to face, seeing their expressions and body language, laughing and etching the way they look in 3-D into your memory. Embracing your friend and knowing that it is real. Even though we have been a short distance away from each other for so long, it just seems so final now that we're moving to Florida. Could be years before we reunite. You are a true friend, Sea. I will miss you.
