It may not be common knowledge to everyone we know but my sister has moved out of the house after 21 years of sapping our energies.
I ventured down to her house on Friday, still seems weird to refer to it as solely her house, but yes, for the first time since its discussion way back at the start of the year I took a road trip down, with my mum and dad, to deliver her wardrobe.
Upon entering the town of Galashiels, I was hit with an unusual atmosphere, as I am used to the drab run down area of Renfrewshire, this looked different, perhaps it was something to do with the lack of delapidated houses, or that it looked quite genuine and vibrant, not like the straight rows upon rows of houses in an estate around these parts, in which they are all pebble-dashed to either white or some form of grey and the fences surrounding the properties are 7ft high, yes even in the torrential rain I still seen that with the sun the place would look spectacular.
upon arriving at the street of Kayleighs residence I had no idea where to look for her house or what it even remotely looked like, that little problem was quickly remedied by a 5ft woman standing at a rather large window on the 2nd floor of a what used to be masonic hall, So after making our greetings, my dad and I went out to get the wardrobe, It was a mission trying to get it up those stairs and into her room. After finishing with the wardrobe I went back downstairs into her living room and two things hit me, the sheer size of the living room, it was massive and well kept, I couldn't believe a student could get such great accommodation. The second thing was that my sister who was living with me for the past 20 years of my life has moved out and most likely would not return to stay for a lengthy period of time for a damn good while. I don't know why but all of a sudden I felt a sadness that hadn't been there before even knowing full well that she would be moving out.
Kayleigh and I, we have our fights like a normal brother and sister... probably even more severe and intense than the normal bro/sis fights and sometime she did really really.....and I mean really annoy me. then there were times where we were good friends and chatted away.
I guess when something upsets your balance, your not happy with it, oh don't get me wrong I'm extremely happy for her, and happy in a small regard to see the back of her...haha, it will take you a while to adjust your balance but you'll get there in the end...
...I guess what I'm trying to say is that even though I thought I wouldn't, being quite rational, and thinking she has only moved to a different house. I miss her and want to wish her luck in her new house and in university.
