Hard to say goodbye

Is it easy to say goodbye to people that you love? The answer is no. I was thinking about that while watching Friends last week. The episode I watched was about Rachel's going away party. She Says indivdiual goodbyes to everyone except Ross before she leaves for Paris.

Therefore, Ross gets upset and goes to confront her. He didnt know the reason that Rachel didnt say goodbye to him is because it's too difficult for her to even start talking to him. Thinking about not being able to see him everyday makes her not want to leave. It leads to a passionate kiss after the explanation.

I just lost my grandmother the past weekend. My mother called me from Taiwan and told me about it. I was very upset because I won't be able to attend her funeral. I was very close to her when I was a child. She loved me very much and took a good care of me when my mother needed to work back then.

She had been a vegetable since last October. I told myself it's probably better off for her to stop to suffer. People usually don't appreciate what they have in the presence and regret after they lose it. I cant deny that I'm one of them. I think it's human nature that we tend to take things for granted. We really need to learn to value things differently.
