my best friend moved away last year . a couple weeks ago she came to town and she and her son stayed with me and my family for 9 days . she left 3 days ago and i feel like a piece of me is missing . i know how you feel ... my best friend lives in a different country that must be so hard . how often do you see each other ? not often at all . i saw her in 2011. we skype but it 's not the same no it is n't at all . my bff and i text and talk on the phone constantly , but there is nothing like spending actual time together . my son and her son are best friends too , and my little boy has been sad ever since they left .
The departure of a close friend and her son after a visit triggered the feeling of sadness.
