Trying to be joyful, despite being sad.
It is hard to say goodbye to friends who are immigrating to another country across the ocean.
I wish them well, and that all their hopes and dreams are realized.
I am grateful for all the joy, happiness and loving friendship that we have shared so closely. Close by enough to just run over for a chat, tea, and a hug when needed. Close and very big spots in my heart. Celebrating the birth of their daughter, to being an " adopted" oma (grandmother) to her. We have had lots of laughter, shared our tears and fears, and been able to be comfortable together. Our doors and hearts were always open for each other.
In the few years that we have become friends they have shown me, and shared with me JOY.
And that is in the end, what I continue to wish for them; JOY in their new lives.

Trusting that we can keep in touch via computer, phone, and even attempt to do " skype" . A typical bitter sweet situation.
