They say change is good

Relationships change; this is a fact of life, which doesn't make it any easier to accept or deal with.

I am moving to another country in 4 weeks (actually, its closer to 3 now) so ALL of my relationships are going to change. I am leaving behind some of the greatest friends I have ever had, including my best friend, C, who is so much more than what those words can merely describe, and J, a man who I think I could fall in love with if our lives were more in sync. My moving is not going to change the way I feel about these people; however, the fact that we won't be able to see each other as we are used to doing, that we can't just meet for coffee or a movie whenever we want, that we can't be there for each other when things are getting rough does change the relationship. C will always be one of the most important people in my life no matter what directions each of our lives go in, and J is always going to have a special place in my heart and I may always wonder 'what if' with regard to our relationship.

I can only be glad and greatful that these two men and many other friends came into my life and are in it now, whether they like it or not. I will see them again...just not on the weekly or daily basis as I am accumstomed to doing.

Friendships aren't created because of mere proximity, nor are they forgotten through distance. No one knows what the future may hold or where any of us might end up, but I know that my friends will always be with me in my heart...where they couldn't be nearer to me.
