We've a small world these days. You can be over the opposite side of the world within a day. We've internet and other means of communication.
I was told today not really to say goodbye. So I didn't. I shed a tear. Emigration was like death, but seeing as things are better still doesn't change the fact you can't visit a friend whenever. That's what I shed the tear over. Wisdom in ship loads and it won't be coming out as often anymore.
I've to get used to change and I'm dealing with it very well in my opinion. Hmmm... We'll see...
