Home alone

It’s 6th of July today, and my sis is leaving in another few days. The depression is hitting once again. I’m home alone right now, no one’s here and the house feels so empty, it’s like I’m in a ghost town or something. No sound of laughter, no one to say ‘kaala’ and give me flying kisses every now and then. No one to come and type gibberish on the keyboard-- I feel so alone.

It’s supposed to be a part of life, your sister getting married and moving away, but it feels like losing a part of you. I never cried on her wedding, it wasn’t till the next day when I was flying back to Dubai and saying goodbye to her at the airport that I realised that I was actually losing her. We would be in two different countries, in two different worlds, and it was basically an end to one phase of my life. I’m wondering how many parts of yourself you can lose before there’s nothing left? xpasti

This is the first time I saw my niece, she’s an absolute cutie (MashaAllah), but the though of her going away is piercing. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I really wish I could live in this moment forever. Keep her like this forever. Maybe the next time around she won’t even know who I am. I’m starting to realise a little bit why we always remain kids for our mothers, no matter how old you get. I feel like that about Imaan, and she’s just my niece.

Ri left today, sis will leave in a few days and so will Imaan. Life just sucks at times!!! sedih

Ach by the time my nephew had started talking(naya naya) a little and walking and became all *fun*, i couldn't help but fall even more in love with him. When he left - infact when they left, I remember crying for six hours staright. It was eid the next day and I had swollen eyes.
This sucks. This feeling sucks

All I am trying to say is: Siras, ronay dhonay ke liay tayar ho jao kuriey!

Aww cuteness ... c'est la vie. It does sucks at times but it brings us moments of sheer joy too ... so often :)

and believe me even though kids can't retain the memory so long but the next time she'll meet you ... you two would be an instant hit again. It always happened with my nephews & niece :)

<3

I know it sucks eh! I just *hate* saying goodbyes with pure passion. I remember when I was coming back from Pakistan, I cried for so long in the plane =( .. and then the depression mode starts ..

But Time heals all wounds ..

And guess what I am home alone too :D

siras said...

Oh yea, definitely sucks! I've never been good at goodbyes.

But time doesn't really heal wounds does it, it just makes them less important.

I guess it's home alone day today :P

"You can be mad as a mad dog with the way things go; you can swear and curse the fates; but when it comes to the end you have to let go"- (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

It's a part of life yes.

I am not sure if you live with all your family and khandaan, but you know what sucks more? Being someone who says goodbye knowing that where you're going, you won't be seeing those wonderful warm smiles that are always ready to greet you whenever you pop up. Going away from your entire khandaan and your loved ones sucks. I remember last summer when I was in Karachi and it was time for me to come back to Toronto, my rona dhona started a week ahead of my departure. Then the plane was accompanied with sleeps and cries; and Toronto was also greeted with cries; and the 6 months that proceeded after were also accompanied with cries.

But, as Huda said, Time heals all wounds; it surely does. The next time she comes back, would come so fast, you wont even realize it.

:D

But it's as bad, when everybody else moves away and you're still there.

Well, I guess that's just life. :)
