Saying Farewell

Just a few, short minutes ago I said farewell to my friend, Krista. Krista and I have been friends since kindergarten and very close friends at that. Today... she is leaving to go to Alberta. How many times did I hear her say that she wanted to move away in the last four years. But with all of that being said I can't believe it. I can't believe that when I return home my close friend will not be there to go visit. I can't believe she will not be there to call to go for a drive or go to Tim Horton's.

Who knows when I will see her again? But one thing is for certain and that I do know: I will always keep in contact with her. We have spent many hours on the phone, we have gone for many drives, many walks, many bike rides, many Carbonear runs, and many shopping trips. We have both seen each other through the happy times and the bad times. We have both celebrated in each other's joyous occasions. We have shared a lot together and many secrets too. Krista is my very dear friend and I will certainly miss her not being in good old New Harbour but I know that this is for the best. AND I am so thankful that she is finally getting to go away to get work. I am so greatful!

I pray that everything will work out for her and I pray that God will surround her as she makes the transition to Alberta. I am so thankful to God for her life and the friendship we share. I know I will miss her but once again I am so happy for her to get to finally settle down with her life.

Good luck Krista! I am praying for you!
