characters leaving

After my good friend Nikki's significant other walked out the door, she forwarded an e-mail to the rest of us that another friend had sent her. Basically it said that when someone leaves you for whatever reason LET THEM GO. THEIR PART IN YOUR STORY IS O.V.E.R. There have been a few times since then when I had to take that piece out and re-read it. One really pinched two years ago when I'd thought I'd found a very compatible companion and after a few wonderful dates, he moved on. It really is easier when you remind yourself that if it was meant to be, it would have been, their part in the s tory is really over and you need to move on yourself.
