I’ve made a huge mistake by deciding not to throw a farewell party with friends and family. Having one big event would have been great fun, but I feared I could not have a good chat with everybody, and it would be quite some action to organize this in the middle of summer holidays.
For these reasons I’ve chosen to rather say good bye individually.
One thing for sure: one big get-together would have avoided some last-minute weight gain, questionable alcohol consumption, some short nights, and serious delays in my departure preparations.
For many days now, I keep seeing friends and loved ones: for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more. The sheer existence of a departure date magically enabled us to find time slots, which are normally not existent in daily business and obligations. Even if the famous phrases „Wir sehen uns“, „Rufma uns dann z’samm“, „See you soon“ are candid expressions of mutual sympathy, something always gets in the way.
But suddenly, there is this countdown saying: either NOW OR NOT for a while.
It’s a simple question: If you were to depart on a long-term journey …
- Who do you still want to give a big big hug?
- Who do you still want to spend time with?
- Who do you want to tell how important their friendship and company is to you?
- Who would you call now and fix a date?
We should definitely say FARE WELL more often.
Macht’s es gut! I will take you along, and I will see everyone, who I could not meet anymore (without risking a big chaos), when I return. Big party then!
