The days that followed my mom telling me we were moving seemed to move in fast forward. I remember going to school, and wanting so bad to tell all of my friends and teacher goodbye, but I couldn’t. It literally broke my heart to know I would never see any of them again, and I couldn’t even tell them.<!–more–continue reading>
The day after my mom told me we were moving, she dropped another bomb. She said that I would be going to California to live with my dad, and my sisters would be going to Washington with her to live with my grandma. I can not even begin to describe the shock, and pain that I felt when she told me this. I was excited to live with my dad because I loved going to visit him in the summer, but the fact that I would not be living with my sisters was almost more than I could take. They were my world. I loved them with my whole being, and took care of them. Now I didn’t know if I would ever see them again. I was totally crushed.
The following days were a blur. My mom started selling all of our furniture and belongings. People were constantly coming over and taking things out of the house. It began to look like no one even lived in our house anymore. I was busy trying to spend as much time with my sisters as possible, and packing my whole world into a tiny suitcase.
I remember waking up on the morning we were to leave and thinking about how much I wanted to stay. I wanted to perform in the Nutcracker, and live with my sisters. I was so mad, and sad. I just couldn’t understand why this was happening. I didn’t know why my sisters and my mom were all staying together, but I was being sent to a different state.
The time had finally come for us to leave for the airport. I remember hugging my sisters and mom at the airport and feeling another piece of my heart breaking away. The last thing as I saw as I walked down that tunnel to board the airplane was my sweet little sisters waving to me, and tears running down my mom’s cheek. I did not know when I would see my sisters again. As the plane took off that day my whole world was left behind. New beginnings were waiting for me just around the corner.
