There Are No Goodbyes

We only say "See ya real soon."

So yesterday was the last day in the Emporium for two of the most wonderful friends any girl could ask for, and boy oh boy was it a toughie for all involved. I tried to say my see ya real soon as well as I could, but I know that I'm better in writing and I knew that I'd probably end up just crying about it instead of talking so here I am. It's been nearly five months since the majority of the Spring DCPers arrived in the Big E, and while we've been saying our goodbyes over this past month to some beloved girls and our Thai friends, this goodbye was a little bit more hard hitting for me.

Not that I don't absolutely love all the people I'm friends with in the Emporium, but these two in particular are probably some of my best friends while down here. And even though we rarely hung out outside of our work location, our times in the Emporium together will always have a fond place in my heart. I am literally the luckiest person alive to have been blessed by their presence and to have been able to get to know these girls, even if it was only for so short a time.

This is probably the most difficult part of the DCP for anyone. It's the goodbyes.

Even though here at Disney we tend to just say "See ya real soon" it's hard to pretend that there isn't a chance our paths may never cross again and that this program will be the last time I get to see some of the most wonderful girls I know. We are all headed into our lives from here, and who knows when we will see each other again.

But then I look at those wonderful people I'm surrounded with and realize that even though we may be headed to our separate cities, states and countries, we will always be friends. We will always be The Emporium Family.
