Never Say Goodbye – Updated 9/11/09

Posted on Friday 11 September 2009

From three years ago… the original comments, which can be found here are very special to me as well.

I hate saying goodbye.

I’m not good at it. I never have been.

I don’t know what is worse, saying goodbye, or not being able to say goodbye. I have experienced both.

Endings are hard.

Some people let them roll of their back and quickly move on. The rest of us struggle.

One of the most poignant thoughts I ever read about endings came from Robert Anderson’s play “I Never Sang For My Father.”

“Death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the survivor’s mind towards some final resolution, some clear meaning, which it perhaps never finds.”

With the anniversary of September 11th approaching, I feel vulnerable. Not physically but emotionally. And it somehow feels necessary to remind all the special people in my life how much they mean to me.

Consider yourself told.

May G-d bless you and yours.

In Memoriam – 9/11. For everyone who suffered on that horrific day… I wish you and your loved ones peace.
