Ask Doc Rock | It's Not Goodbye

Dear Doc Rock, My best friend is moving, and I'm happy that her and her family are going to have a new house, and live a better life, but it's breaking my heart that I'm not gonna see her around as much. I am happy for her and her family, but at the same time I'm not gonna lie and say that I'm okay with this. I'm not gonna say that she shouldn't move because that would be selfish of me. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to react. I don't know what to say. Sincerely, 

Goodbye?

Dear Goodbye,

As hard as this may be for you, you need to understand that you really don't have a say in what your friend and her family need to do. There are certain rough patches in life ranging from someone passing away to a friend moving, but we all have to go with the flow and move past them. In addition, we live in an age of technology. Almost all of us are within reach through texting, email, phone calls and Skype! Just because she's moving doesn't mean you can't see her or lose touch. If she means that much to you, and you to her, you can be miles apart but best friends always pick up where they left off! And it's never a goodbye, it's a see you later :) Best Wishes,

Rock
