Very few people are meant to take the full journey with you in life.  Sometimes you outgrow people, lose the interpersonal connection and/or leave them behind.   Instead of regretting the loss, cherish the time you had together and keep it as a fond memory.  I’ve written before how I believe that everyone’s life is a novel and sometimes new chapters require new characters.  It is all part of the process of growing, learning and evolving as a human being.  Most every transitional point in our life involves bridging a chasm of some sort and other people are usually the means by which we cross over.  However, they don’t all make the same crossing with us.
