Valediction: the action of biding farewell ; a farewell.
You make room. Some times it is a decision, other times it happens without you even realizing it. Never-the-less it happens. You give a little, you rearrange, and space opens up… even when you thought there wasn’t any room to begin with. This new layout, it grows on you, you start to like it. Comfort and connection, are just a part of the process.
And when time is up. (Inevitably this will always be the case)… that space you created whether physically, emotionally, or both, is left empty. For me, it is the emptiness that always seems to be the hardest part. And it can be emphasized by the most insignificant things. They catch you off guard. A reminder of what was.
Strangely, this now empty space is a sign that the relationship was significant… whether it is highlighted by the pieces of your favorite Christmas tree ornament lying on the floor, an empty room, or even a word. This is proof that you have something to be thankful for…
So you start over, and reorganize… slowly that space is filled in…
... although it will never fully reach 100%, that is o.k.... because that would leave you without memories... And I would argue that, that is point of making room in the first place
