The Perfect Goodbye

On my last day of work (which was almost 2 weeks ago) I go downstairs to David’s room to say goodbye. As I walk into the room I find David sitting on his bed naked. Luckily the covers are covering him from the waist down. He looks at me and says, “What you doing here?”
“I’m here to say goodbye. Remember I’m moving to Vegas and today is my last day?”
“Vegas boys trip! No girls allowed!” (He has been wanting to take a boys trip to Vegas and girls are not allowed. He’s already planned one with Eric when he comes to visit. I still am not invited.)
I give him a hug and tell him how much I love. I start to feel a lump in my throat and my nose tingle. As I'm hugging him he his rubbing the back of my head like you would when you are comforting a baby. I look at him and say, "I am going to mi...." Right in the middle of me saying miss, he puts his finger to my lips and says, "Shhh...Just go." (Like off of Dumb and Dumber) Of course I burst out laughing and give him another big hug.
That was the perfect goodbye.

David has taught me so many things. Like how to forgive quickly, and how to love everyone no matter how odd or annoying they are. We are all God’s children and deserved to be treated with love and kindness. He has taught me to be excited about life over the little things. I love how his eyes would light up when I bought him a Coke. He would always say, “Oh! Thanks my love!” We are truly blessed and take so many things for granted. I should be thanking Heavenly Father for every little blessing in my life. It has been a blessing to know David.

I can honestly say he has made me a better person. I have worked with him for over 4 years, and have grown to love him and his amazing family. I will treasure the Johnson family forever, for they have blessed my life in so many ways.
