Why are goodbyes so hard? We live in one big emotional land… so when one of us leaves, you feel it everywhere.
My little brother is off to Australia.
The baby. The one I was basically a second mammy to.
We’ve had about 100 goodbyes.
I keep saying, I’m not saying goodbye yet, I’ll see you again tomorrow. Because it’s easier to pretend it’s not a big, deep, snotty cry kind of goodbye. I used to do this to people when I was heading back to New Zealand.
But it is.I’m so happy for him to spread his wings especially with an amazing girl!
And I’m equally emotional It’s so fcking far away.
At least he has our other brother over there.
And at least I know this is what we’re meant to do- raise them strong enough to leave.🤣 I feel like my mammy.. but he’ll come back ☘️ I needed to leave to appreciate our little land
