Timeout

John and Sara had been in a long-distance relationship for almost a year, and they had managed to make it work despite the distance. They had promised each other that they would

always stay together no matter what, but life had other plans for them.

John had always dreamed of studying at one of the top colleges in the country, and he had finally received his acceptance letter to a college that was 1200 miles away from Sara's hometown. He was excited about the opportunity to pursue his dreams, but he was also sad to leave Sara behind.

On the day of his departure, John and Sara hugged each other tightly, and he promised her that he would call her as soon as he arrived at his new college. But before he could say goodbye, his parents called out to him, saying that they needed to leave immediately if they were going to make their flight. So John left without saying goodbye properly, promising himself that he would make it up to Sara as soon as possible.

Days turned into weeks, and John was busy with his studies and adjusting to life in a new city. He had been so caught up in his new life that he had forgotten to call Sara. When he finally did, he was shocked to hear that she had passed away due to a sudden illness.

John was devastated. He couldn't believe that he had missed his chance to say goodbye to the love of his life. He blamed himself for not making more of an effort to stay in touch with her. He wished he could turn back time and make things right.

In the following weeks, John fell into a deep depression. He struggled to find joy in anything and found it difficult to focus on his studies. He missed Sara terribly and regretted not being able to say goodbye properly.

One day, while sitting alone in his dorm room, John realized that he needed to take a timeout from everything. He needed to clear his head, to think about what had happened, and to come to terms with his loss. So he decided to take a break from college and return home to be with his family.

It wasn't an easy decision, but John knew it was the right one. He spent several months with his family, grieving and healing. He visited Sara's grave and talked to her as if she was still there with him. It was a difficult time, but it was also necessary for John to move forward.

When he finally returned to college, John felt like a different person. He had found the strength to say goodbye to Sara, to let go of his guilt and regret, and to move on with his life. He knew that Sara would want him to pursue his dreams and be happy, and he was determined to do just that.

Time had healed his wounds and John was finally ready to move on, but he knew that he would always hold a special place in his heart for the love of his life.
