Sent my bro off to the airport this morning. Been to quite a number of send-offs my entire life, this one was no different from the previous ones. Send-offs at airport, especially if the person going away is gonna be away for work or study, are always sad. I was the protagonist once when I went to HK to work 4 years ago. I didn't feel sad at all coz maybe I was the one going away? In fact, it was pretty exciting for me coz I thought it would be a real good chance to live on my own, away from my parents and do whatever I wanna do. Indeed, it turned out to be a good experience though I was there only for a year and a half.
I believe my bro will miss his wife terribly, and vice-versa. They are newly-weds. My sister-in-law cried and all my 3 sisters followed suit. I tried to hold back my tears and managed to do so. This is part and parcel of life. Just learn how to accept it and I guess one will feel better. Imagine if it was death of someone really dear to you, wouldn't it be worse? Even if it was death of someone close, one still has to accept it and live on..........
I do pray that my bro will get used to his work there and that he will be happy with his job. My sister-in-law will join him in Suzhou in December this year. Hope they can move on with their lives and be happy.
