How do you say goodbye to someone...I mean, forever? I'm not talking about breaking up with a girlfriend and saying goodbye knowing that there may be a chance that you run into each other in the line at the grocery store, or to a friend who is going overseas who you might call up after his return a decade later. I'm talking for real. How do you REALLY say goodbye to someone who's life is now being counted by the hour? Someone non-responsive? How do you wrap up a person's entire life into a monologue?
You'll never say everything you want to. You'll rapidly pull up the memory-file containing their words of wisdom, snapshots of them, recordings of experiences and quickly try to organize those memories into sentences that mean something to both you and them. But what do you say? What can you say? Life with each other is meant for so much more than this. It truly is. So tell those who are around you that you love them, while they are still around. Let them know AND show them too while they can still comprehend. Believe me, it will be worth it - for you both.
