Left Behind

Tagged:  •    •  

Brothers...Sometimes I wonder why God made them....Sometimes I wonder what I would do without them. As my junior year comes to an end, I realize how much our lives our going to change and already have. My oldest brother Tyler left about a year ago for Kansas and now he has a daughter on they way. Kyle's getting married in a few months and they're looking at houses. Cody's been commuting to a tech school an hour away and sometimes staying there for a few days at a time.

I'm the youngest and its weird that none of them are around anymore...I don't feel like I can really call them or anything without imposing on their new lives. I'm being left behind and you'd think I'd be used to it. Seeing as how it's happened pretty much all my life with my brothers. But I'm not. I want to call them when I have car trouble or when I need them to scare a boy away from me.

I've always been the only girl permenetly in their lives and now...I'm not. I'll be leaving soon too. I'm going away to college. Kyle and Cody will still be near home, but it won't matter. We're growing up and moving on with our lives. I don't know. I guess I just wish that we were still making forts in the living room out of blankets. I wish Tyler, Cody and I were still celebrating our birthdays together and going to the beach and just talking. I guess I just plain miss them....

I just wanted to let you know I empathize, but initially I thought the title was a reference to the song from Spring Awakening. I can only wish you hope in dealing with this, as I come from the other end of the spectrum (I'm going to leave several "big brother" figures in my life to move to the city and pursue acting)
Once again, good luck

Change isn't easy, but most times, things change for the best. Now you will all appreciate the time you have together more because you aren't together all the time anymore.
