Sad Goodbyes

To say goodbye to a friend is like having your favourite red balloon escape from your grasp. No matter what, you know you'll have to let the pain go somehow.
To say goodbye to an enemy is like having to let go of something you could live without yet you seem to miss. A dog, for instance, that howled a lot when you were asleep, and it is time to depart with it. Somehow, you seem to miss that screeching howl.
To say goodbye to a family member is like that one person has took all your bones away and you could feel yourself keel over any minute. Like a bowl without its cereal, a cup without its drink; something would always be missing. Something important.
But, the worst of all, to say farewell to family is like you're not even here. Like the life has been sucked out of you. Like that favourite red balloon without any air, without any life.
No one seems to know the pain you feel unless it has occurred to them. So remember to respect the people who has gone through these loses. Nearly everyone knows how it feels to lose a family member but only some get to experience the terrifying and horrible effects of losing your entire family.
