Didn’t Even Say Goodbye

When raising a child or a grandchild, spontaneity occasionally births a tradition. When growth and development of that child take that tradition from us, we often don’t even notice that it is gone. We move on to the next spontaneous tradition the child can conjure up. This book is about the things a child seems to easily forget as they move on with life but a parent or grandparent holds in endearment. Things that are gone from our lives forever. Things that left our lives, but we didn’t notice because they didn’t even say goodbye. As I think back on those things, I don’t want to become one of them. Life is but a vapor, and there will come a day when the child thinks back fondly about you. In my pain of missing the many little things we cherished, I wrote this book to help everyone navigate the tough task of saying goodbye in person, with life advice specific to that child. A sweet way to celebrate and memorialize saying your goodbyes before you are gone.
