What you say to someone who is moving away depends on precisely how close your relationship is with the person, where they are going and how you wish to continue your relationship with them once they’ve left. The simplest advice would be to follow your heart and speak truthfully and openly with the person in question.

At the same time, however, you might want to be careful not to part on awkward terms by saying something that might put you both in an uncomfortable situation. You would not want to regret saying something to the person, only for them to move away with your last meeting as a lasting memory of your relationship with each other.

Being positive is extremely important. If the person is moving away then there is no point in bringing up past arguments or holding onto longstanding differences of opinion and animosities. Remember the good times you have had and remind the person of these experiences. Tell them how much you value their friendship. If you are close friends, say how much you will miss them and express your hope that you will see each other again soon.

If you think it is appropriate, try to make vague plans for when you might next travel to meet each other. Make sure you know how to contact each other once they have moved away. Remind them that with the Internet, social networking and instant messaging options, moving away doesn’t necessarily have to be the end of your relationship.

You might want to consider buying or making the person a leaving gift. This would ensure that you leave on good terms and that the person will have a constant memory of you even when you are not there in person. As long as you make the effort, you can maintain your relationship with the person in question as long as you make the effort to stay in contact and maintain your friendship.
