		<description>It&#039;s an almost indescribable experience.  Knowing she was there for my birth, and then I was there for her passing.  Sad yet beautiful.

		<description>Same here, Kristi.  I was there for my dad, and that was worth more to me than I had ever imagined it would be.</description>

		<description>I think it all depends on just how good of friends they are to you, Volker.  Guys don&#039;t usually go around telling other guys they love them, but we do find our own way of expressing how we feel about each other.  So, if you care, what&#039;s wrong with a little goodbye here and there?  As I&#039;ve gotten older, my crowd has taken to quick hugs here and there; I&#039;m not mad at it, though I didn&#039;t change my stance on all of this until my dad passed away.</description>

		<description>Sorry to hear about your friend passing.  Saying goodbye is truly important... there is nothing I am more grateful about than the fact that I was there when my grandmother passed, so I did get to tell her goodbye, as opposed to having to hear it from someone else after the fact.

		<description>Hi Mitch,
These are really nice words. Or not, depending on the circumstances. I know someone who always says &quot;I love you&quot; before they part, so in case anything happens, the other person knows.
Is that too much? Should we always be prepared to say &quot;goodbye&quot;, &quot;I love you&quot; or is it sometimes better to just go? To disappear?
Latter might make it easier, or more difficult. I am not sure but I think, as long as we always make sure that our friends and family know what we feel about it, that is very important.
