Return to Routine

Life has become quite busy over the past few weeks, with school and my hobbies all starting up. But I am pleased to announce that a routine has begun again and I am no longer suffering from Summer Holiday Boredom. The biggest happening since I last wrote was Heather leaving for University again. Though she has already been gone for a year, the goodbyes after her visits never get any easier. After having her around the house for three months and now her gone, I can't help but almost cry when I see the places she used to be, lie empty. But I must learn that life has to go on...

Saying goodbye breaks my heart,

If only we never had to part.

I'm very close to my sister,

I love to talk and laugh with her.

I understand that change must be,

And that she is now very happy,

But still I don't like to let go,

Yet she has to move on in life, also

I need to move on as well I know.

She'll go her way, I'll go mine. Though-

We shouldn't cry and feel so sad,

Instead treasure the time that we had.

Though for a time we may grieve,

The memories will never leave,

But I can't help shedding at least a tear,

For the sister I'm parted from who is so dear.
