Saying goodbye is not always the end. Rather, it is the beginning of something better – for you, for them, for him or her, or for everybody. This life is filled with ‘hellos’ and ‘goodbyes.’ Goodbye does not have to be so sad. You can take things lightly and look forward to seeing you next time.
Here are the best goodbye messages for your friends or relatives who are moving away:
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
A. A. Milne (Winnie The Pooh)
Winnie the Pooh is grateful to meet friends whom he will treasure in his heart. This means that we are more than lucky to have good friends whom we want to stay with us and not separate. However, when the time comes to bid goodbye to each other, it can be difficult and heart-breaking.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Helen Keller
As long as you have great memories to reminisce, life will be easier with you even if it is no longer the same without your good friend or someone you treasure for years.
Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
Being physically separated from our loved ones is not easy. We can ease our pain by thinking that we will see each other again in perfect timing.
Though miles may lie between us, we are never far apart, for friendship doesn’t count miles, it’s measured by the heart.
Unknown
Being distant to one another does not mean that everything will change between our beloved friends and us and loved ones who moved away. If we truly value one another and keep them in our hearts, we should not be bothered about saying goodbye to them for a while.
You and I will meet again when we’re least expecting it. One day, in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won’t say goodbye, my friend. For you and I will meet again.
Tom Petty
It is inevitable to get separated, even with the closest person you have for years. One day, you will see each other again when you least expect it. You will be both delighted to get updated about one another’s life after embracing new changes.
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth.
Robert Southey
Time and distance cannot separate two parties who have established a strong foundation of friendship. Wherever they go, whatever happens, they will have each other’s back even when they are in different worlds.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
Semisonic
A goodbye is not the end. It is always the beginning of something new. It may happen in times we don’t expect, but it will be worthy when we learn how to embrace this with all our hearts.
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
William Shakespeare
God has the best plans for good friends who separate for the meantime. Say goodbye for now and wait for the right time to meet each other again.
Don’t ever tell anyone anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
J. D. Salinger
When you start talking about something, you will suddenly remember about a person or a group whom you love to be with. Sometimes, you will remember about the foods you eat together, the places you have been before, stories you shared with one another, and many more.
I make it easier for people to leave by making them hate me a little.
Cecelia Ahern
Once in your life, you will meet someone who will piss you off and tease you. That someone will make you miss him a lot when he has to go away.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
Anatole France
Let us learn to accept changes that happen to our lives. We may have a good friend or neighbor with us for decades, but time will come they have to embrace the best opportunity that comes their ways. It is our way of showing how we love and support them even in these difficult situations.
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime. We’ll take the best, forget the rest, and someday will find that these are the best of times.
Dennis DeYoung
Every moment we have lived with our good friend will remain a part of our lives forever. Of course, you will recall all the best memories and will make you appreciate him or her even more. You will be able to realize more great things about him or her.
Goodbye is the hardest thing to say to someone who means the world to you, especially when goodbye is not what you want.

There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
For people who love with all their hearts, they will never find it too difficult to let go. These goodbyes will become temporarily as they patiently wait for the perfect time to see them again.
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi
Do not be stressed out when someone close to your heart has to move away. Always remember that you will be separated only in places, but never your heart. What’s more, you already created memories that both of you will reminisce with smile even when you are apart.
We’ll meet again. Don’t know where, don’t know when. But I know, we’ll meet again, some sunny day.
Vera Lynn (We’ll Meet Again)
Just go with the flow. No need to worry too much for now and say goodbye with hopes and prayers that both of you will be fine always. One day, you will meet again in a way that will surprise you both.
Saying goodbye is the hardest solution of any problem. But sometimes, it is the only choice we have…
