Feeling very emotional

I hurt when friends leave when people aren’t a part of my every day life anymore so many have moved away. I miss them. Change is a part of life. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I think of the woman who will be retiring soon and I am brought to tears I can’t imagine not seeing her at work after being a part of her life for the last 26 years. So many memories. She taught me so much. She hugged me today I almost cried. I told her how much she means to me. I told her I am grateful for everything she taught me. I told her I love her
