Do not abandon yourselves to despair.
We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

Pope John Paul II

Ah, when a close friend moves away it'll always be difficult.  These kinds of situations are really unfortunate.  I am sorry that you have to go through this kind of situation and feel the way you do.  Just remember that you're never alone as there are always people, including myself, who really care about you and are willing to help you in any way that they can.

I know that things seem really rough right now and you don't know how you will feel in the future.  I'm not going to lie to you, it will be very hard in the beginning because you will probably miss your friend a lot.  However, you need to try your best to try and not let it get you down too much.

I know life can be unfair sometimes but you need to expect that.  Believe it or not, this will only make your relationship a lot stronger.  Not only that, but it will also make any time that you guys do have together a lot more special and you both will learn to appreciate that time a lot more.

In today's society, there are many ways to communicate with people.  I mean, I have close friends who are overseas in England and we still communicate fine and I'm in Canada.  There will always be a way to communicate with each other.  No, it may not be as frequently as you are both used to but you have to understand that.  That's why I say it will be hard in the beginning but eventually, it will get a lot better.

You can communicate over IM or email.  You guys can talk on the phone or text message each other.  You guys could also have video conversations with each other.  Believe me, video conversations add a lot to a relationship.

You say you're moving into your dorms this weekend?  That's really great.  That's a great opportunity for you to meet a whole bunch of new friends who go to your school.  I'm not telling you to just drop your other friend but making new friends is always good.  It's also a good way to keep your mind off missing your other friend when you guys can't talk.  You guys seem like you're very close friends and therefore, I strongly believe that keeping in touch won't be an issue.

I hope I helped.  If you ever need anything at all or feel the need to discuss this further, feel free to message me any time as my inbox is always open.

Good luck and keep your chin up!

You're like a bullet to my brain, I'm numb, can't kill my fun.
If you're good and done then thank you just the same.
I don't owe you anything.
