It's Hard To Say Goodbye
by Belinda Roddie
It's hard to say goodbye to someone who
you considered a friend. Easy to cut
them off on social networking sites, yes,
and to delete each photo online. But
when you go to yank the photographs out
of an album, a few things come to mind:
The photos are perfectly organized,
and you want to keep the good memories
intact. You try to claw each memento
out of its plastic seal and toss it out,
to ease the pain somewhat and grow numb to
the day when the two of you were happy.
But you just can't. You want to remember
how strong of friends at one time you both were.
