As we evolve and grow in our lives, we may find that not everyone evolves or grows with us.  This doesn't mean that anything or anyone is wrong…it simply means you're growing apart.  It can be hard to deal with if we don't recognize what is happening.  It's important that we honor this process and honor the time that was shared, the lessons that were learned, and the love that should never be forgotten.  This person helped to mold you into the beautiful person you are today.  Saying goodbye, or simply letting go, should be done with sensitivity and with care…always giving the other person the utmost respect they deserve.
