Begin at the beginning and carry on till you reach the end, then stop.

Stop. A brilliant phrase as ever to describe the way things went down today.
Leaving my sister at Heathrow airport was like a part of our family simply stopped and faded away. It's hard to say what took more effort to do; say goodbye or walk away. To be honest I don't think alot of people would actually be able to answer honestly because in a way both are as difficult as each other.
Now for a highly interesting new four months to begin; the past 16 years need to stop.

For new to even begin being a posibility, something old must stop.
