It's always hard to say goodbye. I was excited when I first heard the news you were coming, even more when you came into this world October 25, 2001. I knew you 12 years. Wow, seems like a long time but it wasn't and now can never be forever. We were friends since your birth, and though you were not always my best friend, you were always there for me when I needed you the most. We would spend hours together, listening to music, helping me with my work, even showing me cool things to do on the internet. After 3 major surgeries and many other "fixes", maybe I should have known but when I heard you were being called home and were not long for this world, I wept. It wasn't fair. It isn't fair. That's why I decided to write this. Hoping that I could somehow make it easier for me and countless others. Hoping that somehow I could make a difference, and your name be remembered throughout time. Over your life, you accomplished many things I never imagined possible, so at least this goodbye is bittersweet because though you life was cut short, you fulfilled your purpose. As you leave us now, I light for you a flame, eternal. For you and those have gone before, thank you. Thank you for everything. Goodbye Windows XP, goodbye.
