Learning to Say Goodbye

I have never really had to say it. When I came to "the Bank" I left a part-time retail job which I was happy to escape from. I was 19, and had no real ties to the people I left behind. This is different. Today, possibly for the last time, I leave behind people who have never failed me. They helped me grow up. Taught me to be a good mother. Supported me through the best and worst times of my life. They have been close when my family was far away. I think of them as mothers, sisters and friends:

Lurue, Diane, Dawn, Vera, Shirley, Toni, Martha, Rhonda, Donna, Sarah, Ann, Carlen and the countless others who have already left us

You will forever be in my heart.
