Hey thanks you guys. It was just a moment in time but I agree with vita and lynda that if anything was different I wouldn't be the person I am today. Not being able to say goodbye made me into a much more affectionate person towards others. I am a hugger and a kisser, no one I care the least bit about is beyond my clutches if I have anything to say about it.
I also tend to say so long or see you later instead of the words goodbye.
