well maybe not forever... but it seems that way.
Today we drove to Laurier and unpacked my brother's things into his new place. He's now officially a university student, an adult, on his own and independent! Unfortunately, school is an hour and a half away and his independence includes not being home. It never really registered that Nathan, coss, my brother who I've lived with all my life, is not gonna be here. I'm not gonna get to hear his annoying music late at night, I won't wake up to him right next door, and I won't have someone to be crazy and hyper with. I realized how much I took for granted and there are so many things I wish I could have done to be a better sister. It's bittersweet, I'm so excited for him pursuing business and for the Waterloo campus to grow, but I know that it will be hard for us to fit eachother in our lives.
It's crazy how fast time really has gone, just looking through old pictures of our childhood, we really have grown up! And that kind of scares me. Another blink and we'll be married with kids and a mortgage and reduced to yearly reunions! Oh please God, no! Atleast I'm the only girl in his life right now - when he gets a girlfriend, that will be another obstacle to overcome ha.
So Nathan, if you're reading this, I love you sooo much. I don't always say it but I really do. And I respect you and admire you and look up to you. You are honestly such an amazing brother and so many people wish they had an older brother to protect them - I guess I'm just really lucky. I'll be praying for you every day and thinking about you a lot. And you better not forget about me coss, I'm always a phone or skype call away! Can't wait to hear how school, please fill me in on everything!
Sad ends are also new beginnings.*sigh* :)

awkward stage! see? change isn't always a bad thing..
"To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time." - Clara Ortega
