So glad the 'goodbye' isn't for real, while the poetry most certainly is. Harry

Linda you are AMAZING!! I should have congratulated you when I commented before because it was a foregone conclusion that your spectacular submission HAD to win. And you even included Hooroo ! You are a darling.

I just found you and I want to say hello. Your goodbye is amazing. Personally, I don't get into the contests but definitely this is a winner. By the way, how long it took you to find all of these words for goodbye, and how long it took to draw the hand

Hi again... you've found khodaa haafez. it's Persian language or Farsi. It means Khodaa (God) and haafez (protect). There is one more in Farsi similar which is "be-omid-e didar" (hope to see you... and I hope to see you, Linda...

Hello Pashang. I am so glad you found me and read my poem. I appreciate your kind comments. I do contests for fun, especially if I can make something interesting from the requirements. The words were not so had to find on the internet but the research and the shape of the hand took a couple of hours, maybe three total.

Linda this is Amazing! Never seen any thing like it. You should sell it to a greeting card company to use in Farewell Cards. ummm you did forget the Aussie "HOOROO", But I'll forgive ya, because that lil slip up takes nothing away from the masterpiece you created.
