Apart

All my siblings scattered across different locations, from ourselves and my mom. The last time we all gathered together was during my Dad's burial now over two years ago.

I travelled to see my mom over the weekend and it was something that we talked about. I have 4 other siblings and growing up was pretty close knit with the inclusion of a few cousins. To see how vastly different things have become is quite sad.

It has made me start daydreaming a bit. I'll love to see us live in close proximity to one another again and I believe all my siblings share my thoughts. Our biggest limitation is of course finance and the career choices we have made.

If we were all settled am sure we could work something out. As I get older I've come to realize that it's not the 'what' but the 'who' is in our lives that will really count at the end of it all. Sure, comfort is necessary and so are ambitions, yet it is nothing if we don't build the necessary relationships and experiences along the way.

Am excited about the prospect of us living in close proximity again, alongside our families. I know it is going to be an upheaval task as well my older siblings are married with kids, but when my excitement calms a bit am going to discuss this dream scenario with them to see what they think.
