People enter and then leave
In our lifetime many people will cross our paths, some will enter our lives, stay a while and then leave. The ceasing of such relationships can hurt as we often don't know why somebody has decided to leave our lives. But we must remember every person that comes in to our lives has a reason to cross our path, no matter how long they stay, whether it was a 5 day friendship, 5 months or 5 years, there was a reason, So when they leave for no reason we must remember this. We have to accept and not grudge them for leaving. Look back on how they were in that period, what the friendship meant to you and be grateful. Be grateful that the Lord gifted you with such a person in your life. There is a lesson to be learnt from that friendship. A lesson you would not have learned without this person coming in, staying a while and then leaving. As the pain caused by the sudden ceasing of the friendship hurts a lot we are unable to appreciate that there was a reason for them in our lives but as time goes on we will see it and be grateful. Never ever regret having known somebody. Sometimes people who cross our paths may not be good and bring bad experiences but these bad experiences have lessons to teach us too. And don't forget that true friends once they come into your life will never leave. If they do they will always come back.
