Left behind on Christmas

that sounds like a very sad moment, but you probably wouldn't have wanted to still be sharing a room with him twenty years from now, so it was always going to be a temporary arrangement. it was probably very nice to share a room with someone who turned out to be such a good friend, a bit like having a very good brother, i imagine, and i think you have to be thankful for having such a good relationship with a friend, be sad that the relationship is now changing, but happy that hopefully he is moving to see new and exciting, as will you. better, i think, to part as friends, than be stuck together in the same room for so many years, that you might have got fed up with each other. better to be sad he is leaving than to be pleased.

That sounds like one of those bitter-sweet moments. You are glad for his progress and time to move on but saddened by the same time at your own loss! I understand that. I sort of went through something similar not long ago. My friend of many years got a job in another state. I was very glad she got a job after months of unemployment - but sad to see her move far away!

Hi... I can understand how you feel. I have beeen through this during my childhood many times... Don't worry, time heals all the ill things. Moreover, world is connected now. You can be in touch with him over phone and e mail... Earlier these things were not even known... I have lost many good friends as there was no mode of communication... You need to cheer up.. And when you drink the last one with him, just let him know how valuable friend he has been... Take care....

Definitely miss him as a good friend. But his leaving will me memorable of him, and I will definitely keep in touch with him. Anyway, I would say that you should keep him in touch through internet or call him from time to time. That is what a good friend for.

Hello chuyins123, I understand your feelings as it happened with me too as i used to live with one of my friend while doing my first job as it was 75 Kms away from my home.Those days were really great.Today also after 10 years when i remember those days i really miss that time.After living together for almost 5 years we had to go to different cities for jobs.I came back to my home and he moved farther and today after several years we still don't forget to talk to each other whenever we have to take important decisions in life.And now when we are married and have our own kids we do meet each other with our families frequently.But when we got sepatated we were like you crying for each other.I remember at least for a week we used to call each other on mobile to know what we are doing.Really miss that time.Hope you too will become normal after few days.
