Whether it's her parent's separation, college or a new job offer for her parents, a friend moving away is really tough. We know the best thing to do is to be happy for them, but it's tough when someone you care about and have known for a while leaves. The fact is, they were in your life and now that they aren't you feel sad. But, there are ways to cope with it rather than throwing a fit in front of your friend. Cause you know if that happens than they will start to cry too. And that is the last thing any of us want.
One great thing that you can do to let her remember you is to make a card and get all of y'all's friends to sign it. It's a great thing for her to treasure forever.
Another thing you can do is make a binder color for her. You know that pocket on the outside of a regular school binder. Make her a cute cover so that every time she goes to get her binder for school or work she will remember all the good times and insiders you had together. If you wanted to step it up a notch, you could make a binder full of photos and fun things you guys did together. And than put the binder cover on it. I guarantee she'll love it and never forget all your great memories.
A final thing that you could do is write a letter. A letter saying how great of a friend she is and reminding her of the great times you had together, of when y'all met and how much you'll miss her. It won't will leave her dry eyed as long as it's truly sentimental. Put you heart into it and she will love it. And don't forget to keep in touch by emails, texting, facebook, and by writing. The possibilities are endless.
When you lose a friend it is okay to move on. Even if it is your best friend, life moves on. I'm not saying forget about her, I am saying to expand your horizons. You will make new friends if you keep an open mind.
