Friends are Moving Soon
Friends just come and go! It always makes me sad when someone who has been a part of my life is leaving. I am actually talking about friends here who are leaving in a few months. We live near one of the US Bases in Germany. From here, I meet a lot of friends who are married to American soldiers. Usually, they are allowed to stay in one of the bases for 3 years if their stay will not be extended.
I had a talk tonight with a good friend who is also leaving soon. She said that a removal company was already hired by the US Army to ship and transport all their household stuffs to their new assignment in Korea. She told me that she is slowly trying to gather and sort things inside their house before the removal company comes to pick-up all their stuffs including furniture like bedroom set, dining set, garden furniture, car shipping, personal belongings and many more. She also told me that she is trying to get rid of many things they don’t need anymore. This is one thing that made her busy the past weeks.
She also added that moving can be very stressful but she is very thankful because the US Army will pay for all the removal and transportation services. This is one of the army benefits that my friend is so grateful with. More on that, the removal company will be the one to wrap and pack all their stuffs which would be less work for her. Any damages that may occur during the transportation process will also be refunded to them.
I am quite sad because many friends will be leaving in two to three months time. I guess, I have to accept the fact that sometime life is like that. People like friends simply come and go. I am just glad that I met good friends around. For sure, I will see them again in the other parts of the globe. Good luck to your new home soon, my dear friends!
