There comes that time in our lives that we have to spread our wings and become the person we were meant to be.  This often results in the loss of people we thought would be there forever.  When we grow we don’t all grow together we have to accept that your needs and goals may not be the same as those from your past.  During this growth process we learn new things about ourselves and see things in a different light.  Unfortunately, some may not agree with your choices and you may not agree with theirs.  This is okay, it just means you are both growing and like the branches of the tree of life we go in different directions and often we don’t meet up again the same as we once had.
