I was once in a farewell party for a friend of mine. I admire her a lot. She is very brave n physically great!!!
She gave a speech that I remember until now. She started with list of thank yous. Then she went on with hopes and wishes. In the end of her speech she said this sentence: I always believe that we change or die!" Then her tears were falling.
I guess goddbyes are never easy. But a goodbye in need is a goodbye indeed.
