Saying Goodbye

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to two very good friends. They are older gentlemen who are retiring rather than relocating. I've had to say goodbye often over the last two months, but these were the first that really hit home. I felt my eyes welling up when speaking with them, so I said goodbye quickly and got out of there. I hope they understood and didn't think I was being a jerk.
Tomorrow is my last day in the DC office. I thought leaving was going to be sweet, I now know it will be bittersweet.
