Goodbye

Graduation is an ending yet endings are beginnings of something beautiful.

In life, there are always hellos and goodbyes. There are beginnings and endings. But what matters most is what happen between them. Between them is when you experience the joy of love, the pain of separation, the difficulty of struggles, the crisp of meaningful laughters, the sorrow of tears.

Between them is when you discover yourself, when you know what you can do and what you want to be. Between them is a life solely your own, a life nurtured by your experiences and exposures, a life moulded by your joys and pains.

Obstacles are many; roadblocks are everywhere. And the essence of life is not trying to overcome them but facing them as challenges along the way. They teach us lessons found not from books. What they give us is wisdom, and this is life-long.

Today, you are at the crossroads of your journey. What paths you may take will make the difference in your life. And how you choose your paths depends on the values and wisdom you learned through the years. Choose well. Your life depends on the choices you make. You are what your choices dictate you.

You are a gift. And as for every gift, you are precious and cherished. May the days and years we have shared together remind you that you are special.

This goodbye is only to let go of the pain of being separated with you. But with it is a prayer of love, success, health and happiness.

I may not be with you but my love for you will always be.
