leaving soon

My life has been full of hellos and goodbyes. The hellos are nonetheless the happy encounters that put my life with vigor and excitement.

What about goodbyes? No matter how I make myself see the brighter and positive side, it's still a manifestation that something and/or someone is being taken away from you. Of circumstances, the necessity and the reality.

My niece and nephew are leaving soon. It's only 8 days before they leave for Italy to be with their Mommy and grandparents for good. It makes me deeply sad. But I thought, it's too selfish of me to even feel that way. And so instead of grieving our loss, our loneliness for their leaving, I'd rather be happy knowing that after all the hardships and sacrifices their Mommy had gone through for them, finally, it all paid of. She'll not be missing her kids anymore.

It'll be hard for us, the ones they will leave behind. Missing them too much will be an everyday struggle. But I guess, knowing that they'll be happier soon makes it bearable.

Piccoli tanto tempo, ci manca sicuramente. Non bisogna mai dimenticare. We Love You, oh, così caro.
