It was my first time in England ever. I had a wonderful host family there and have gone back to visit them twice already.

Your last paragraph ...Glad your surgery went well!<br /><br />Your last paragraph before the Irish blessing (beautiful!) brings up some interesting points...which I happen to answer in my "goodbye" post (about why and how we humans avoid goodbye) — I love when this blog synchronicity happens! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-56460657550895298632007-02-05T18:36:00.000+00:002007-02-05T18:36:00.000+00:00Beautiful SS.

I think the most painful goodbyes are the ones we don't want to say but know that they are for the best. Even though my ex husband is stil one of my best friends saying goodbye to the marriage part was so hard. Thank god there are plenty of "hello's" too throughout life, like ours last year!Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-74097831884176106242007-02-03T21:37:00.000+00:002007-02-03T21:37:00.000+00:00So true...I love the way you wrote of all the diff...So true...I love the way you wrote of all the different forms of good-bye.

You brought it all back, made me remember how hard it was (and still is) for my mother, who moved to the US from N. Ireland when she was 22.<br /><br />Like you wrote, "goodbye" slips off of the tongue, without consideration for the power of the word (beautifully put, BTW!). I love the idea of "farewell," and I adore "The Irish Blessing." Such a comforting message. <br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful words. Farewell, friend! xo <br /><br />P.S.
