Each of us has to go on our own journey. However, we do not have to go along the path alone. We may start out on one path and then decide on a different path. Friends may come and go. People may stay out of our lives completely. Their path is completely divergent from ours. They may need to go on their own road. Many of us may take different paths in a lifetime. People may be a apart of our lives to help us at a certain point or they may need something from us.
Parting is never easy. There may be a reason. It is best not to dwell on the reasons people are no longer a part of our lives. It is best to let them go. If someone does not respond or stay in your life, it may be more about them. Sometimes, God calls them home. All we can do is accept that they may not be a part of our lives. We can live our lives to the fullest no matter what path we are on.
Without others the journey on the path can seem long an arduous. We need each other. Sometimes we need to part.
