Seattle Bound

Two of my best friends are my sister and my nephew. I spend many days and nights by their side. We giggle more than not. We constantly talk about life and are each other's rocks. We keep each other standing and happy. This upcoming Tuesday, they will be Seattle bound. So far, it's not real to me. I think about it but don't believe it's going to truly happen. Our family has always been this close knit family that sees each other for everyone's birthdays, holidays, school programs and family days - it doesn't seem realistic to think that that could change. I have to be strong for my ten year old nephew but I secretly cry myself to sleep whenever I think about it. I am not looking forward to Tuesday - I wish it would never come, but I have to think of the positives. I know my life will be complete sadness for a long time until I come to accept this change or until they come back. They mean the world to me and I cannot imagine not seeing them weekly anymore and not being able to see my little guy grow up to be a beautiful teenager. I'm going to miss you three more than you know. If it were up to me, I'd never let go. My heart is full of love and wishes for safe travels. Family is never anything to take for granted... to me, family is my life.
