Does anyone like saying goodbye? Obviously I am not referring to temporary goodbyes where you drop off your kid and pick him up couple of hours later. Im referring to the more permanent ones. However if you think of it most goodbyes are temporary unless we talk about death.
And when referring to that we almost never get any warning to say goodbye. So we can honestly say that the goodbye I'm referring to is temporary and should nevertheless be easy. Yet when I think about saying goodbye to my family on Monday I feel the heart strings pull. I am sooo fortunate to have been blessed with great family members.
I have seen and been around lots of different families and noticed their dynamics. I can only say again how genuine my family is and how much we all care for eachother. There really isn't a time that I wouldn't help them out to the best of my ability.
Aside from my immediate siblings I truley will miss wholeheartedly my nieces and nephews. They always are there to show me how great it is to be an aunt abs still feel like a kid.
The hardest person to say goodbye to is my bubby and for obvious reasons..see above..we just really never know. So the tugging of the heart intensifies...we all live our lives with difficulties of trying to properly raise our own families. many times we have conflicts about what options to take to ensure our families are growing in the right way. I feel that moving to Israel is certainly a better place to raise a jewish family with a solid foundation. So with that decision I must pay a price of not being around my bubby that often. Sigh. Ugh. Gulp. Sniff
In regards to my parents well I know I'll see them often. They are now retired and have gone to Israel very often. In fact they will be there a day before me for a couple of months :-) so to them I won't have to say goodbye..
Lastly..you know what they say abt what you should do when you miss your mother in law.. reload and shoot again:-).that could also be said about your father in law:-) although my in laws have treated me so respectfully I couldn't have asked for better ones
With the above in mind I will try to stay positive and convince the tuggings in my heart that this goodbye is only temporary.
See ya all on the other side.
