How do you say good bye?

 Weezer says it best in their song "My Best Friend"
"When everything is wrong I come talk to you
You make things alright when I'm feeling blue
You are such a blessing
And I won't be messing
With the one thing that brings light to all my darkness
You're my best friend
And I love you (love you)
And I love you (love you)
Yes I doo oooo
There is no other one who can take your place
I feel happy inside when I see your face
I hope you believe me
Cause I speak sincerely
And I mean it when I tell you that I need you"

How do you say good bye to  friends that not only love you but loves your kids? That is willing to sleep on the floor your first night home with two new babies? That calls or texts when they know you are struggling? That helps you paint your nursery? That puts you before themself? That cleans your front yard when you are 8 months pregnant? That watches your babies while you pack? That baby sits for free or for Ramen Noodles? That host you a baby shower with overwhelming gifts? That make bows for every outfit your daughter has? That passes down clothes? That cooks your dinner or brings you leftovers? How do you say good bye to friends that know you better than yourself? That allow you to be yourself and not complain?
How do you say good bye to someone who is more than a former player...but has become a little sister?
How do you say good bye to someone who is more than a neighbor...but like another mother figure?
How do you say good bye to someone who is more than someone across the street....but a best friend, a sister?

Miranda, Tasha, Gabe, Emma and boys...I LOVE YOU! I may not be able to always express my gratitude for you all but I love you. That is all I can say without tearing up.
Anson gang- you are so awesome and I will miss everyone of you.
Pease clan-I can't even begin to start to express my gratitude to you. For the butt shots, for the helping hands, for the friendship.
To my basketball girls- you made my head coaching experience amazing. Thank you. Remember: Do the little things right.
To the Fairfax Community- thank you for embracing us and loving us and the babies. Your support, prayers and encouragment were greatly appreciated.

So, how do you say goodbye? How do you turn the page? How do you "move on?"
You don't. You just say "see ya later!"
