One Last Goodbye

Goodbyes are the hardest when they're said a little too late

One Last Goodbye
Raeann LaCombe

Never thought you'd leave so soon. I can't even remember the last time that I talked to you. Yet, I remember what we talked about. I feel like I'm clutching onto the memories of you. I can't seem to let go, but I have to, there's nothing to even hold onto now.

Is it even possible to miss someone so much? Why does missing someone hurt as much as this hurts. There's days that it hurts to the point where all you want to do is lie in bed, head in your pillow, and cry all night long.

I wish you could come back for just one day. I would make that one day count for so much more than I would ever be able to imagine. We could sit there and reminisce in the good ol' days, when we were young, wild, and happy. What I would do to see a smile on your face. I just want to be able to tell you stories about how I'm hiding the boogeyman in basement and he's waiting for his daily 10 pound steak served rare.

You taught me what it's like to be a big sister to a little brother before I even had one. You were the closest thing I had to a little brother until mom gave me one. I should've never lost touch with you when I moved away. You meant so much to me, you still mean so much to me. I know I never told you this, but I was so proud of you when you graduated and when I thought you were walking down the right path. You could've been such an amazing person.

I never even got to say goodbye. Nothing is harder than not being able to say one last goodbye, especially since it's the final goodbye. Well, I guess here it is. Good bye, I hope you rest easy up there in heaven. I love you, always have and always will.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
