Aug 15th “With LOVE,” We Say Our “GOOD BYE”

One of the best things in our LIFE TIME is to learn to say “GOOD BYE” …

But… and there is always a “BUT”  about something … and that is when it comes to saying “GOOD BYE” … and meaning  a forever  more “GOOD BYE”…

This is Grandpa Al, himself and with him… in his  very strong arm, that arm is so mighty strong to be able to build Airplanes and all those things  that are needed to FLY, as we all LOVE to FLY, as we all are  in such a hurry to get to that spot on the map just as fast possible… from this little ole spot on the map and then in no time at all… we find that we have changed our mind… and we have to start all over again!

That is our most favorite Grandson LEX, sitting in the arm of his great and  most wonderful  Grandpa Al , and they are at the Airport… and what do you think that  “Grandson LEX” is learning to do?

In looking at this photo, you can see that both Gramps and Grandson are doing exactly the same thing!

“They are saying “GOODBYE” to someone, that will soon be flying so  high into that wonderful BLUE sky above!”

This kind of  “GOODBYE” is a good …”GOODBYE”… because we will be expecting them to came back to us, and very soon again!

BUT… As I am looking at the above PHOTO… I kind of detect a little type of sorrow in our little LEX… as his face kind of has a disappointed look about him… maybe I will see them again and maybe not… as they are definitely leaving and I am just standing  here with GRAMPS… should I be Happy or SAD… since I really do not know what to expect next?

My Gramps is smiling and waving and saying all kinds of good things to me… and for me to say, as I also wave… but I just can not figure out this “GOODBYE” stuff?

When we are smiling and saying our “GOOD BYE” to all of our best of friends and family … Is it for sure… that we will all return to this same place of our goodbye,  and then once agin with so many more smiles on our faces, and with our arms open for many and  all kinds of HUGGS  for all of us, to start receiving… will that always and forever be the case, for all of us… now and forever more?
