Goodbyes Really Aren't Forever

My neighbor's Bethany, Benjamin and their son Grayson moved away. They packed all day yesterday, and cleaned everything this morning. They just left 30 minutes ago. I had no idea how much this would affect me emotionally. I cried most of last evening, and I started crying again when I came inside from seeing them off. I called my friend Fabi, to tell her how much I was hurting. I don't really understand. I've been saying goodbye for so long now, you would think that I was used to it. I guess the lesson to be learned is that goodbyes don't get easier with experience. I was explaining, or trying to, mid-wail, that she was not allowed to move away from me. I have a very hard time with it. This makes me long for heaven that much more. Where there will be no more death and He will wipe away every tear.
I love Him more than anything that this world can offer. He loves me more than that.
