About two years ago when I work in a Drugstore corporation. Before I was hired there I undergo a lot of trainings. During the training phase I have gained a lot of friends. We just stayed in a staff house for the whole more than a week of trainings and examinations. Luckily most of us passed and hired by the company. But due to the fact that we belong to different provinces we are assigned in different locations, which is near our place of residence for more convenience. When are about tom pass all the requirements to the Human Relation department, we felt a little sorrow that it might be the last time we will be with each other. We know somehow we will missed all the jokes and laughter we shared even for the short period of time. But that's life, people come and goes, we just wished if we could only work at the same branch where all of us will accommodated but that's impossible. So after that we were scattered i branch nationwide. I then conclude parting with them is really a sweet sorrow. After few months of working in the branch where I was assigned I have gained friends again. We treated each other like sisters, we even can't eat without each other.And after a few months we are both transferred to different branches. I was the first transfered by my supervisor, I still remember that on my last on that branch she cried which made me cried too. And now we both resigned from that company. Honestly I still missed her now but I failed to see her often because her place was very far from mine. I still have met many friends there before I left that company. And now I miss them all. How about you, do have related experiences where parting made you cried too? How? Can you share with us?

I do agree that parting with friends especially close friends is such sweet sorrow. Sorrowful because they will not be around physically for a long time but at the same time it is sweet because of the knowledge that the parting will make your bond stronger and that no matter the distance you will still care and love each other. And then of course there's the knowledge that sometime in the near or far future you will see each other again. I've had many close childhood friends who've upped and left the country already. Some went to work in the capital city while some have decided to migrate abroad. They were all like brothers and sisters already. Yes we all cried at the moment of parting, cried ourselves to sleep the first few nights of being apart, cried during phone conversations the first couple of months... But the sorrow fades with time and then there's just the joy and excitement of hearing their voices during phone calls until the day comes for them to come home for a visit. And such a wonderful time it always is! You see each other and you pick up where you left off and the time of being apart seems like it never existed! And then when it is time for them to leave again you won't feel all that sad anymore because the friendship has been affirmed once and for all that regardless the distance, it will remain strong.
