Sadness

It’s a sad day today. My sister has decided to move across the country and go and live in Sydney with her boyfriend. I am happy for her but I am sad for me. She leaves on the 19th of December in the afternoon. her boyfriend is going to fly back on the 15th and then they are going to drive her car over the Nullabor Plain. It will probably take them 3 to 4 days so she should get there just before Christmas.

She and I have not spent a Christmas apart in 30 years. It is going to be so weird not having her there. I have been bursting into tears on and off all day, bloody useless I am! Still she is just an email away and flights to Sydney arent too expensive these days so i am sure I should see her a couple of times a year.

I have organised to have the 16th and 17th off work so I can spend the last few days with her helping her pack and things like that. I want to organise a Family dinner as well for before she goes….

It’s a sad day….

It’s better to live across the world from each other and be close, than to live next door and never speak or spend time together. Experienced both *sigh* My sister is planning to move as well (only 1hr 45min each way) now she lives 2 miles away and we never see each other. She homeschools (NOT ME!! lol) so she is always busy. Live is too complicated at times. Cherish what you have..:)

how depressing. and right here at christmas, too. i don’t blame you for being upset. enjoy your time together.

perfect circle

*hugs* very sad and such a crappy time as well with the holidays coming.

oh Sweetie… time is always moving faster than we’d like. RYN: Thomas did the taping all by himself so Johnathon couldn’t ride his scooter..LOL Didn’t take two my friend, just one determined little bugger. (We are fixed but only on basic… Wonders never cease to amaze me) ((((((Huge hug))))))))

dammit i just tried IM’ing you, but your offline, I’m not going to name everyone at like 11:29pm at night!! lol

Sorry for your sad day! Thanks for your notes as always. I had read that you had played water polo & my heart always gravitates to those who played water sports. I read a number of your entries late last night & I laughed awfuly hard. Oh, my! You have more nerve than me. But I’d like to have been in your shoes just for the experience & to say I did it. But I would have had to lie about the thumb!

ryn: OO hope I didn’t get you into trouble 🙂

I sure appreciate your notes. Thank you.

I’m sorry. hugs.

Aww, *hugs*. I am sorry.

*hugs* Im so sorry hon. Even though your sure to see each other again its still very sad and hard when you are used to being close to someone for a very long time and then theyre suddenly gone. I know its going to be a very big adjustment for you, but I am sure you will both help each other through it too. Hopefully she and her boyfriend will both want to move back your way sometime in the future.

I haven’t spoken to my brother in 12 years. I’ll explain why to you sometime. I’m glad you recognize the value of your relationship with your sister.
