Until Next Time


Saying "Goodbye" is never easy and for some reason that word just seems like it's the end. I know it's not, but knowing that you may not see your brother for the next two years is pretty difficult to swallow. So I'll just see you next time! I'm used to my brother, Scotty, not always being around. Growing up he stayed with my grandparents during the summer so that my mom had less kids to care for while we were all out of school. He then lived in Colorado during the time that we would've been in high school together and then traveled Europe for a month. It was fun listening to all his adventures and stories. It allowed me to live vicariously through him because his adventures weren't anything I will get to experience. Even through all his experiences we've always remained to keep things normal and continue an awesome sibling relationship. The thing about Scotty living in Australia is that I can't just get a plane ticket and go visit him for the weekend. So the time will come when I'll have that feeling in the pit of my stomach meaning that I miss him and I can't do anything about it. It's a lot easier dealing with him living so far away because I've gotten to visit and see what his life is like. Scotty has always made a point to save money to come and visit and spend time with his family in the States since he's lived in Australia. I want to thank him for doing this! I hope there will come a time that I can do the same and make Australia my second home. Your always in my thoughts and prayers. Please don't lose sight of who you are and where you came from. I love you!
