We all know that nothing is forever, life changes and everything ends. Yet time and again, we are surprised when it happens.
A new friend of mine was offered his dream job recently. He is taking his chance and moving away to pursue his dream. And I feel heartbroken.
As happy as I am that he has found a foot-hold into the work he has dreamed of, I am bereft at the loss of him in my life. Because while he was here, he changed me.
With patience, knowledge and kindness he opened my eyes to information that I had never understood before and it changed my life.
He taught, I listened and learned… He explained and I made changes. In a few short weeks I came to rely on and look forward to his support. … and now it’s gone.
Sometimes a person comes into your life for one brief flashing moment and makes more impact than some who have been there from Day One.
We can never predict who will make a big impact.
… when we lose someone who has changed us, we grieve. xox
