Just so everyone knows, if you have to say goodbye to someone you love, playing sad songs while you cry on the way home really does help. I belted them out for 20 minutes on Northbound I-95 and by the time I got home, I had experienced a thorough catharsis and was back to smiling about all the fun we’d packed into our brief time together. Thank goodness my pal and I can keep in touch.

I so hate goodbyes. I’m setting up my own in the next couple days, and it always breaks my heart.

Oh, I love sad songs. I used to turn on “Love is Blindness” full blast and lay on the floor every time I felt down in college. It somehow makes you feel better–or maybe validates your bad feelings so you can get over them. I am missing my old “sad song” mix tape from Jr. High now . . .

I ease many sadnesses with heavy doses of the Cure.:) Sorry you had to say goodbye, it’s so rough when friends move away!

I love sad, sappy love songs. I enjoy singing anything by Josh Grobin, Air Supply and of course Barry Manilow. Chocolate always goes great with sad songs and a good cry. Hope to see you smiling on Sunday!

I need a Kellie hug right now! It is no fun saying goodbye, see you later is much better. I can’t wait to show you the gorgeous mountains and valleys that are our new home now. Send me your sad songs playlist, please…. ;}
