Good day, hivers! Do you ever have someone in your life you are so close with, might be a family member or not? Someone you grew up with and shared so many things and memories together? If so, do you imagine that someone will be away from you and everything will change?
In my case, I do have my aunt. The one who eventually became a sister to me. The one who guided me in many aspects of life. My second best friend and the most trusted one.
I always knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be this sooner. As I watched her walk, not in front of our house but in the aisle, dressed in white with so much happiness on her face, I couldn't help but feel joy, and pride but there's a hint of sadness. She was one of the best people in my life and now, she was about to start a new life, away from me. Nevertheless, I knew in my heart that she would always be in my heart and our bond would remain unbreakable.
GROWING UP WITH MY AUNT
From the moment I was old enough to remember, she was there. She was the first one to play with me, she would play with me when no one else would and certainly, she would always be there to play with me.
I remember our late-night talks, where we shared our favorite things and favorite hobbies, and the laughter that echoed through the whole room. She was the one who introduced me to the world of fiction. We read books and stories together, cry together, and share sweet moments together.
HER WEDDING DAY-MIX OF EMOTIONS
When I heard that she was getting married, a lot of thoughts filled my mind. I was happy for her, really happy, but deep inside, something felt odd. A small part of me doesn't want to share her with anybody.
On her wedding day, she personally requested me to do her make-up. I was so happy because she trusted me, she let me decide for her look as if knowing I would make her look beautiful on the most special day of her life. I did my best, I made her look beautiful but she was breathtakingly stunning, a very stunning bride.
On our way, I couldn't hold back my tears, this was finally her moment. This is the very first time I am going to witness a wedding ceremony and I couldn't believe she was the one to let me experience it.
Even after the wedding, upon returning home, my mind still couldn't move on. She is finally married, to the man she's in love with, and I imagined the time when we are just simply over fictional boys.
LETTING GO BUT NEVER SAYING GOODBYE
Before the day could even end, I told her the words I had been holding back, "I will always be here for you." She may be entering a new start of her life but that doesn't mean our relationship will end. Our memories, our love, and our bond will always be shared, remembered, and never fade.
In life, there is always a change but the love remains constant. No matter where life takes us, never forget to cheer for each other. She may be starting a new life but she will always be my home. She was one of my role models- the one I would look up to.
Some people have sisters and I have an aunt who became one.
