exit Isaiah

the little guy left today. he’s moved to the capital to study maths and science at the best university in the country. my pride in him is never lacking, though my heart is heavy already as I lie awake knowing his room next door is empty of him and the stuffed toy tiger he’s slept beside since birth. this is a new chapter merely because of his absence. a lot of space to fill now. I wonder if he’ll love his time away so much that he won’t miss us so much. though this would be a tricky pill for us to swallow, I hope for him that this is the case.

I read a card from Nadia (sent all the way from Canada) before saying goodbye to my brother. her words made me cry and miss her more than I have since Lewes. I hope that in his new venture, Isaiah is lucky enough to find such precious friends in those around him as I did in Nadia and the other friends I still miss every night.
