One down....Six to go
So it's early in the morning...and the reason i'm up...well...my younger sister Jennifer just walked out of the door with my family to start her new life....they're heading up to austin to drop her off at her dorm room...yep..my lil sis is going to UT. She got into NYU but we can't afford the tuition and what not....it's really a sad day...i think for all of us...we're kind of in realization mode...that after all this time together as a close family, we're breaking apart....Sept. 20th I leave for the Air Force...and then come close to the end of this year...my mom and stepdad move into their new home..my grandparents move to i think colorado...and my uncle..well who gives a fuck about him. As i told my sis goodbye i couldnt help but act dry to her....it's how we always were...never admitted our feelings to each other but we stood up for each other when the shit went down...i know i'm going to miss her...she has alot going for her and has alot of potential in her lil brain...the girl is a genius. When i was helping them load up the car...everyone was just so quiet and when there was talk...words were cut short. Kind of like everyone was choking up, resisting an outburst of tears...I don't see me crying...but i see me in a bit of a tiny depression....We're growing up...moving away..and starting our own lives and it's crazy as hell that it's taken me 21 years to realize this...well i know i'll see my lil sis again sometime before the year ends...it's just going to be a little different around here...and i know i'm going to have to lay comfort to my mother because tears will be pouring out of her...i know it..cause i know her...And when my time comes (real soon), I know she'll be in a phase of depression that if hopefully my stepdad is a sentimental person, he'll be able to help her cope...I say this because she took it real hard when i first moved into an apartment by myself...heh..of course i moved back...but now this is very different...it's not a temporary move this time..and it's not just me or my little sis...it's the entire family
