I strained my eyes and tried to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
Today i went to dinner with my family for some school even for my little half sister, Marie, the daughter of my mom and stepdad. Her school is also the school of my other little half-sister, Emily, who is the child of my dad and stepmom. I had come with my mom and stepdad and, by coincidence, my dad and my stepmom and their two kids, Emily and Alex, sat right next to where I was sitting with my mom and stepdad. The first to notice was Alex, my little half brother, sitting with my dad, so he came over and said "Hi Sean!" very enthusiastically. Then, my little half sister, Marie, (sitting with my mom and stepdad) gave Alex a big hug. This moment was the first time that I realised that any problems in the past that my parents had were over, made apparent by the relationship between two people (my two half siblings) that were only related through me. The fact that in the past most of my parent's problems were centered on me was now overruled by the fact that two uninvolved , and young, people were mature enough to take a step towards overcoming the awkwardness in the situation. Taking the hint from my six year old half sister and my twelve year old half brother, my mom went over to my dad's table and said hi to him and my stepmom. The most unusual thing about this situation was the fact that most uncomfortable person turned out to be me, when I had always pushed my mom to make more of an effort to be nice to my dad. Now I was the one holding back the progression from past pain. I think I have a lot more maturing to do when it comes to my family, for everyone else has gotten over the divorce and the problems surrounding it, except me.
