The Goodbye

Misty-eyed I left you. It has been a long hard journey with so many ups and downs. But it has also been a journey that has brought me an intimacy that I have never known. You brought me closer to One whom I have been after for so long. We have spent more time together the last nine months than ever before.

You brought many into my life; people that I would not have met otherwise. They came from all walks of life. Their diversity gave me a new insight and a hope for humanity.

The battles have been hard to bear. I knew there would be battles, but they were more than anyone would ever expect. I am weary and I don't think I can go on.

I felt relief, but also sadness as I walked away. We had been involved so deeply. I gave so much and much was taken. But it was worth it. You brought so much good into my life. You changed me. You changed me in the deepest sense for eternity.

I will have fond memories of you, but regretfully, and with a heavy heart I am leaving.
