Prompt:On this day in 1934, Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was a poet and a baritone singer with a deadpan delivery. “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye." is one of his songs. Let this title inspire your entry today. There have been so many goodbyes during my life. It’s a sad word really and my daughter always says “see you later,” instead of goodbye when she’s leaving. She says “it’s not goodbye, Mum.” My saddest goodbyes were when my parents died. They died of cancer two years apart. Both were aged seventy. Too young to say goodbye. But when my daughter gave birth to a stillborn baby at 38 week of pregnancy that was the saddest goodbye of my life. Sad for myself but sadder still to watch a loved one suffer such a painful loss. It meant saying goodbye to so many things, to all of those firsts; first smile, first day at school and all those other times which we would never experience. There have been happy goodbyes too such as when going on an exciting adventure, or farewelling someone else as they are setting out on a vacation, wishing them bon voyage and knowing it’s just a temporary absence. People pass through one’s life, others stay forever but eventually we all have to say that final goodbye. |
