No Goodbyes Necessary

by TheForbiddenAppleOfTwilight

Many fans in our close knitted family have been deleting accounts and saying goodbye, wishing everyone a farewell. This is something I thought of while looking through my Twitter TL and I needed to write SOMETHING to maybe help myself and others realize there's no goodbyes necessary. 3

"Never say goodbye, because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting." -Peter Pan

The horrid thought of saying goodbye had been implanted in our minds since the age we could walk. They were always sad and never had a happy ending. Goodbyes had always been difficult for me. Even when choosing a major life decision, forcing myself to say goodbye to one great thing to keep another.

I pulled the oversized knitted sweater closer around me, not needing warmth, but liking the security it created. I curled up on the window seat and watched the rain slide down the window, the gray clouds rolling in from the east.

I wrapped my arms around my legs, pulling my knees close to my chest and closed my eyes. Listening to the rain as it created a pitter patter against the glass and the hard ground. If I had listened more thoroughly I would have heard my daughter laugh as my husband threw her over his shoulder and spun her around. I would have heard her erratic heartbeat pound against her tiny chest. But instead of listening to the outside world, I focused on the thoughts rattling through my head.

Not but a year ago on this day, my father passed away. The night before he left us, he whispered in my ear to never utter a goodbye because they weren't necessary due to the fact that all good things never leave, they always remain deep within our hearts.

"Bella?" Edward called with a chuckle in his voice. I could hear their clothes scratch together as he wrestled playfully with Renesmee.

"I'm coming," I murmured softly as the rain fell still, turning into puffy white snowflakes.

Don't say goodbye to our wonderful saga that brought us so many good memories and excitement. During this pandemonium, many of us made new hobbies, new friends, and a close knit family including the cast and author that brought this world to life. As said before, never say goodbye to something good because it sticks with you through thick and thin. There's no need to delete social networking accounts that brought you closer to this world because you can't get everything you had back, it'll never be the same.
