Meetings and Partings
"It's all right, children. Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it. I am sure that we shall never forget ..." (Kermit the Frog, The Muppet Christmas Carol)
I am all right with the meetings, it's the partings I don't enjoy so much. Ryker's best friend all through high school was over for dinner last night with his family. They are moving to Germany next week. It seems like yesterday they met on the first day of Freshman year at Campbell High School. Now here they are young men going off on their separate ways in the world. It seems unlikely that their paths will cross again.
With the internet, you can decide if is a complete parting or not. While you may not physically hang out again, you can communicate like no other generation has ever done. Your friendship doesn't end, it just expands globally.
