I left of my own accord and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought of my former team and fellow coworkers. I’ve spent a good number of years building relationships. The long hours we’ve put in only strengthened the bonds that were created. We were a team in every sense of the word. I don’t regret my decision to leave, but I just hate how I am in the middle of doing something at work that brings back memories of this place and it makes me feel joy and sadness. I guess there were good things about this place after all.

My team is greatly missed. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much longer I would have made it if I stayed with the leadership as it is. My team can't be replaced and we all built great relationships that will hopefully continue beyond this place.
There always are memories of past places and work relationships that come up. Heck, I remember at times the airline I worked for Once Upon A Time, it was that vivid. Overall it was the best job and the fastest track I ever had but it was also the most bipolar–the wins were amazing, the lows were awful. The bad stuff will fade, the good stuff will remain, and you'll take your learnings to better situations. Enjoy your new challenges!
