I woke up around 3 o'clock in the morning, realizing what day it was: today is the day Kuya Rom leaves for the US...and there's really nothing I can do about it.
As much as I would like him to stay and be with his family, it's not for me to decide how he should live his life. This is his life. He knows what is best for himself. It would be too selfish of me to ask him to stay. A bigger part of me is happy for him...very happy. I just can't deny that there's that small part inside of me that's sad.
For 21 years, my brother and I have been inseparable. It was only this year that we weren't able to celebrate our birthdays together. Now...we won't be able to spend Christmas together. And unfortunately, he won't be here to see me graduate.
Hmm...I think I should go for a while...I still have to prepare for my class in International Law.
Until then...
