Thoughts

First things first, let me say that no, I am not stupid enough to call one sister lovely #1 and the other lovely #2 as if to prioritize them.

That aside, my little buddy left today. She (also, not pictured) is on a plane as I blog, headed to London as a stop on her way to Rome, Italy.

We were able to hang out yesterday; spending that sibling time together before she left. It was very nice. I'm glad we were able to make time for it (and not only because she was cleaning my condo!!). She seemed very excited for her trip so I feel much calmer about it overall. It's so hard to watch them go, I can only imagine what it is like for our parents.

With Alison leaving Tuesday, I was no more prepared for Lesley leaving today, which was not really a surprise. I knew it would never be easy to say goodbye to my little sisters for any extended period of time.

This is, however, such an exciting opportunity for them both: being abroad for this semester. I hope this is a decision they never regret and a trip they remember fondly for the rest of their long lives.
