Before I begin: no homo.
I met someone this cruise, pretty f-in' awesome guy even if a little eccentric.
Helped him out to the best of my ability in doing his job and he did the same in return for me.
Today he went back to his unit - he's done with him temporary duty in mine.
Very much likely I'll never see him again.
Reminded me of when I was a kid and I met other kids at the airport and played with them. Then when it came time to say goodbye, I felt so empty knowing again...i'd never see them again.
In another place and time...who knows how good of friends we could have been?
At this point in my life, I think I've said enough goodbyes that I can take what I've learned from each of the people i've crossed paths with and be glad we met.
To this individual, thanks for brightening up some of my days.
Go forth and keep doing great things.
