Sixty-seventh: Bittersweet

Well tonight was bittersweet!!! :( Really! It breaks my heart that two of my close coworkers were transferred to another department and another one senior coworker is resigning by the end of the month. That's only two days from now! :( We've already formed a strong bond with each other, that we sometimes miss one another when one has to take a day off. It bugs me why someone has to leave or why good bye was created, to begin with. Why couldn't we just be with the people we like? :/

On a positive note, we had a huge serving of pizza (enough to feed fifteen people), cola, ice cream, and some fruits as a despedida for those leaving. We took pictures, laughed out loud, and basically raised our voices because we can hardly hear from too much music and silly banters. We exchanged stories and jokes as if it were last. It felt like it was because that was the only time our rotation was complete, err almost, save for one. We were very happy. We had to stop ourselves from thinking other than what's positive.
Saying good bye to someone has got to be one of the toughest feats in life. You have to but you wouldn't want to YET you need to. You're torn apart because your mind says LEAVE but your heart says STAY A LITTLE BIT LONGER. Oh, the uncertainties in life. But one thing will always be sure, that the next time we see each other, it will be one filled with laughter and stories to fill in the long stretch of absence. I can only hope for the best for my colleagues as we go on, seek, and live out the meaning of our profession. :)
