If there's one thing that helps me get through life, it's my family. I love having them nearby, in fact I need it. I can't stand the thought of them leaving me, but a while back my sister had gotten an offer for a very prestigious job in Asia. It actually would have been stupid for her to turn it down, so she accepted it. She leaves on December 26, the day after Christmas! I won't see her for a whole year once she leaves. I'm very happy for her and I know she's happy, but the closer the date comes the more frazzled I become. I hardly spoke at all today because I feel completely lost. I think I'm going crazy and I don't know that my mind can handle this right now. I feel like I want to jump up and down and scream 'Don't leave me! Don't go!' but I would never do that to her. I'm trying so hard to move on already and not let my feelings take over my life. I just really hope I don't lose it on the day she leaves, for her sake and mine.
