One of the facts of life of living in a foreign country is you see people come and go. Some stay for a long time and are only ever passing acquaintances, while others are only here for a short time and become 'permanent' friends. We're off to take one of those friends to the airport in a few minutes and the entire Bloggs family are going to miss Fusao very much when he goes. Of course one never really says "goodbye" to a friend. We'll all meet again (not least because he's headed for London), but it's the fact that we won't meet as often. There's the sadness. See you soon Fusao.
Posted by Joe at April 5, 2004 05:58 AMWith the downsizing of the financial industry over the past couple of years, I've said goodbye to far more friends than I've since made.
I suppose I'm lucky that a number of them settled in San Francisco. At least I can visit all those in one place.
