It turns out I spoke too soon.
Leo's adoption date has been announced:
May 2nd.
It's also his twelfth birthday. A cool coincidence.
When Leo heard it, he was practically grinning from ear to ear. And when I saw that, of course I couldn't help but feel happy for him!
...But
now that things have quieted down a little, and I have some room to think
I think I'm more sad than anything else, really.
Pretty selfish of me, huh?
This is something he's looked forward to all his life. He's even told me as much.
A chance to go outside, go to school, meet tons of new people, to find and accomplish dreams. If you put it that way, the outside world sounds like an amazing place.
While I'm as eager as Leo, somehow I still find myself reluctant. I don't want to part with everyone.
I wish I could just grab them and take them all with me, and be together until we're old and wrinkly and wise.
...But I know that's impossible.
So instead, I'll be the best sister they've ever had before I leave them!
And as for Leo, I'll make myself happy for him.
Wouldn't want him seeing a frown in the few weeks before his special day, right?
I must put aside my own feelings and do what is best for everyone!
