I’m partial to Auf Wiedersehen. Just coming back from a tour in Germany. Simple words bring great meaning to life.

is this a convoluted message? strange I'm the only who thought you may actually be saying goodbye...or maybe I'm just hallucinating.

Interesting and beautiful...Pls add MAESSALME (Arabic) and BON BINI means both goodbye and hello in (Papiamento) besides sign language is the same in many languages. Wishing you all the best.

I Like It... and let me say why... Because it shows Humans hoping for the Best (even when saying bye (English we say GOOD-bye The French goodbye translates Until We Meet Again... The Jewish wishes "Peace Upon You" and the Hawaiian salutation is both "Hello and Goodbye".... So, we're saying basically "I wish You Well or the Best... Very Informative Sara... Great Introspective Writing... MoonBee
