aiThe day before yesterday, the 11th of May, my mother, two brothers, and my dog started their travel to the UK. They have found a sweet family that generously invited my family to stay with them. Today they have their flight to the UK. I’m sure everything is going to be okay.
It has been only three days since my mother and brothers left, but I’m already feeling how I miss them.
aiI stayed here in Turkey and will be here until my July program starts. Now my boyfriend and I live on our own, which means taking much more responsibility.
aiIt has been only three days since my mother and brothers left, but I’m already feeling how I miss them. Our flat now seems so empty. I’m not used to them not being here. When something crashes or falls, I think that my brothers did something. I still check whether I closed the door to the toilet to make sure my dog Monia won’t make a mess and rapidly pick up food that has fallen on the floor so that Monia can’t reach it first. I miss the time when my mom knocked on my door at the most inopportune moment to ask me what my plans are for the day were.
