The privilege of being able to say goodbye and mean a final parting is rare. In fact, the one that is filling my heart today is one of the very few in my memory after a long life filled with everyday partings. When I think of my good fortune, having shared so much with so many, I am overwhelmed.
Yeah, I believe in every one of those hokey t shirt and bumper sticker axioms.
If I don't see you again before one of us disappears from the planet, please know that it has been my pleasure sharing the ride. If I ever hurt your feelings or if I owe you money, I'm sorry. If you're waiting for that last verse that I promised, well, I had good intentions.
Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.
It's been good to know you, even a little...but enough to have a place in my heart that is Ronny-sized. But goodbye? Hopefully I'll see you in England sometime. That would be nice. Cheers! Ed
