A New Era

Living as we do, Mr. Honey and I frequently say goodbye to old friends as they move on to their next assignments. Our first experience with it was nearly two years ago, and gradually, more and more of our friends have left. This morning we said goodbye to yet another friend. Now there's a single member of our original Friday Night Bar Group left in town, and he departs next month.

Saying goodbye is bittersweet. We wish our friends well in their new places, and we remember the good times. Unfortunately, sometimes we remember the bad times. In situations like this, we wish our friends better experiences and more happiness in their next phase in life. Sometimes that's all we can do.

Mr. Honey and I won't be here too much longer ourselves before we're sent on our next adventure. Eleven months and counting at the very most. But we've still made new friends in the last couple months, and when we go, the tables will be turned. It'll be their turn to watch us leave and wish us well. That assumes they like us, of course. :)
