Hello

November Writing Challenge Day 20 Hello.  So much better than goodbye.  Hello is full of new beginnings and happiness. Goodbye is fraught with tears and you’re left with memories.  Make your hellos while you can. Don’t be afraid to say hello. Most people are friendly. You might discover they’re also crazy, but at least you tried. They might have been needing a hello.  Most of you I met through the Co-op, and my hellos began as simply that, “Hello.” Which eventually morphed into a “Hey!” which may have become a hug and “Where have you been? Tell me all about yada yada yada, and when can we go out?” in a few years. I’ve said my goodbyes to many, too. The most painful ones are the ones they couldn’t hear as I stood there snuffing into my Kleenex next to their bright and beautiful flowers. It’s so hard when they didn’t say goodbye before they left. It’s impossible when you don’t know why they’re gone…even if they did tell you goodbye.  Never be afraid to say hello first. You might really make a difference in their life, or more likely, a difference in yours.  I’m so glad you all said hello back…
