Day full of emotions

Yesterday was not a very happy day for me. My brother moved to a new place where he has his new job. He and I lived in the same apartment for more than 4 years. I do not remember how I felt when he first moved in to my apartment years ago, but am sure the feeling might have been unpleasant. If I have to guess how I felt, I would have thought that he was intruding my privacy and infringing my rights - Haha.

Well, that's then. The feeling was entirely different when he left yesterday. My heart was filled with gloom, sadness and disappointment. I am psychologically down - I know he will be permanently gone, be settled in the new place and be a visitor-only to my place.

Yes, I missed him and will do so. I will miss those times when we compete early in the morning for the restroom, miss those disagreements over TV channels, miss the agreements over lunch/dinner, miss the get-togethers and fondue parties with (mostly his) friends and colleagues, and of-course miss the discussions about people at work place (he had many interesting stories working for a big company that has lots and lots of women). Above all, I will miss his cooking expertise that allowed him to cook all kinds of exotic dishes.

Well, that's the way of life. This sad moment will fade too. I know that my brain will easily replace its cells that contain "brother-leaving" information with some other information soon. Until then, I have to hold on to my emotions and be strong.

Bravo!!
