Every day seems like a new journey with the passing months we all learn.
On long cold days I find myself lazing about wondering what to do next sitting in my pj's and daydreaming about what I'd like to be where I'd like to go. I don't travel as much as my family, I almost barley get to see them but next week I'm going to visit my mother. She says dad will be there so I hope we can all get along.
A week passes faster than expected and my brother comes to pick me up. Ethan grabs me by the arm and tells me that if anything happens I should give him a call. It's sweet of him...but how do I tell him I've got to let him go. We are getting older and I can't keep needing him. "I'll be fine" I hesitate to promise him this but bring myself to doing it "I promise" I said with a hesitant smile on my face. He could see my hesitation but didn't say anything about it. My brother saw this too and told me that it would be OK as long as dad was there.
As a family we don't spend much time together but we always found ways to see each other. Dad was always busy with work, big bro had to study abroad and only comes at most twice a year. My sister's too have school and mom takes care of them. I used to live between mom and grandma but now I live with Ethan and his family so I can go to school and not have to be in boarding. im close to people I care about and I can see my family as often as I can . It's more convenient for all of us to be apart. This usually makes it easier for us when we do meet up.
During the car ride I find myself dancing with my brother and smiling again. This is the most fun I've had with him since he left. Was I going to have more of this in the future or will I lose connection with everyone. Will we ever be a family again?
