People come and go into our lives whether we're ready for them or not. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes we just simply don't know how to cope. We can't help but miss those who have strongly impacted our lives. Whether it's a lost friendship, a broken relationship or the death of a loved one, we all have a few people we'd like to have back in our lives. As a anonymous writer said, "We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason."
It's a painful feeling to go from talking to someone every day and knowing that person is by your side to not having him or her at all. You'll think about him or her constantly. Old pictures and old photographs will remind you of the memories you share with this person, and you'll end up missing him or her even more. There are moments you'll wish you could relive, but you have to accept that those moments have just become memories now.
Each person we meet will influence our lives someway, somehow. Some may have a larger impact than others. However, those who are meant to be in our lives will be in our lives. Some may go unexpectedly, and it may hurt, but it's just the way things are meant to be. There may be people you miss forever. It's true that time may help the healing process, but there are some memories and people you will never forget. Each person is different and affects your life in a different way. Not a single one of these people can be replaced. The best you can do is cherish the moments you shared with these people. Appreciate the happiness they brought you and the lessons they taught because it all happened for a reason. Although these people may no longer be in your life, you will always have your memories to look back on.
Life moves on, and you will meet tons of other people who will impact your life in many ways. You'll meet even more people who will come and go, and you'll find yourself missing them too. And then you'll find those who stay. No one you meet can replace anyone from your past, but you might meet people even better than those you miss. People change, and friends grow apart. Appreciate the people in your lives while they're there. You may not realize it yet, but they have come into your life for a reason.
