Mom cried when she found out about us. She already loved you like her own son. It was like losing another family member. My heart ached more when I watched her cry. I am not the only person affected by this event, everyone around me are affected as well.
The sisters took a great look at the Build-a-Bear bunny you bought me, knowing perfectly well that it is the only favorite thing that I own. Dad glanced at our polaroid pictures, quickly reverting his glances back to the ground, unable to utter a word. Only Mom's sobs could be heard echoing around the room.
They had high hopes for us, thinking that we are going to make it. I am the first-born, everyone had images of the dowry, caterings, decorations of the 'wedding' that they oh so excitedly planned on our anniversary. I definitely did not see this coming, but I had to do it. For the sake of your own good.
I am not the one who is destined to wake up next to you and make breakfast and get our kids ready for school. I am not the one who is destined to share the same roof as you. I am not the one who is destined to marry you. As much as it hurts to admit it, I am not destined to be with you. I have never made you happy. You even admit it yourself that you could never be as happy as how you were before you lost your grandma. I just wanted you to be happy once more. Thus, the reason why I am spreading my wings and fly.
