Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.  A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. 
~Richard Bach

It’s always hard to say goodbye, especially for me. Within the next month, I have to do that very thing, over and over again. This was something I definitely didn’t think about when I came to the decision to move from New Jersey to California. I’ve been so caught up in the excitement of moving to warmer weather and having new opportunities that I have completely ignored the fact that I have to say goodbye to people here. It wasn’t until my “Goodbye Party” with my coworkers, that I’ve realized what and whom I’d be leaving.

Although I have really enjoyed working on some wonderful, high profile and exciting accounts like BBC Video, Cartoon Network and CBS Consumer Products, among others, it is really the people that I worked with every day that made my job worthwhile. The people at B/HI have made this office more family than co-workers.  And just like in any family there are stressful days, disagreements and occasional mishaps, but at the end of the day there is nothing but love for each other. The party last Friday night was just another example of the love and support they have for me. I know I will never find a work family quite like the one I have found here.

So, I’ve decided not to be dismayed with goodbyes. I know that I’ll see them again, whether it’s during random trips I make to New Jersey/New York, or when they are in town in California. Not seeing everyone every day will be tough, but that only encourages me more to keep in touch.

I will always think of my B/HI family as fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts. I wouldn’t have them any other way...
