I feel so out of control…. I never knew her move would have such a great impact on me and I wish she was still around to keep my parents busy. It’s the worst when I’m alone and I start to reflect on how I should have not gone out that day and stayed at home with her. But I didn’t want to cry in front of her and make her sad. When I heard that she told my mum not to cry if not she would cry too I couldn’t take it anymore. It got worst when I’m alone and I think of all these years when I watch her grow up. It’s totally unbearable. I know my mum misses her a lot too and she can’t sleep well at night. Neither can I. My mum said she would just stand by the window sometimes thinking about the move and hearing that made me so upset. Why didn’t I ask her to stay on? I was on the train today just thinking about it and my eyes were already red. When I go home, most of her stuff are gone and it feels so strange. There’s no one to talk back at me, no one to bother me and I don’t feel like it’s home.
The house seems so empty without her and I would give anything for her to come back. I can only hope she comes back often but that would be hard. I would wonder how she’s coping there. I remember when she was just a baby and I would pat her to sleep. I remember when she was a toddler and I would take her out for walks. I remember her first step and first day at school. I remember she would dance in front of us. All these became lesser as lesser as we grew older and I sometimes found her a nuisance. I knew I should detach slowly from her so that everyone woiuld feel better better when she goes home one day so I stopped showing care for her gradually. Perhaps it was a selfish act to protect myself because I knew that someday she might not continue staying. Of course there were many times I had scolded her but I hope she knows it was for her good. 12 years have gone by so fast but I’m glad she’s grown up to be sensible and positive. I hadn’t expected myself to experience such turbulent emotions even thought I was preparing for it once I heard that she made the choice. My only worry was how my mum would cope without her. No one to make her laugh or for her to fuss over. There’s nothing much for her to do in the house now. I think she didn’t even dare to cry in front of her when she left.
It’s only been 2 days…. gosh I’m really going to miss her…. I didn’t even give her a goodbye hug.
