I miss my sis

Ok, times up! It's been a week since Stacey and Jeremy packed there bags, cleaned their house and had hours left before flying South. So many people asked me if I was sad and going to miss them and in my toughness and lack of ability to think emotionally beyond the moment, said "Ya, but I am way to happy for them."  Well, I am still happy for them, but I think a week is long enough for Stacey to have fled the country. She is my go-to-person. I feel crapy, I call Stacey. I am bored, I text Stacey. I am excited, I call Stacey. I am at work, I text Stacey. I think I am dying from something random, I diagnose myself on the internet than call Stacey.
Now what?
Internet is just not the same. Facebook is good and email's help but what about when I need to text and call like right now?
Thankfully my wonderful friend Laura-Lie must have had some intuition and told me today that she can be my go-to-person when I need to just text, call or say Hi for a quick min. (thanks for knowing what I need :)

I should admit that Stacey did call me Saturday night from Fort Lauderdale and emails VERY often. SO I should not complain.

It has taken Stacey leaving to make me realize some important things about myself: such has how I am a medium poached egg. My heart is not soft and it's not hard either. It doesn't explode with tears and runny yoke on the first poked. It takes a few pokes, a couple of days for reality to sink in before I have some runny yoke. So it has been a couple of days and I am starting to realized how long it is going to be until Christmas!! (when I see my go-to-person again).

I guess in a positive light, I will be that much more thankful of my sister and Jer and eveything that they are to me when they return. So, until Christmas I will lend them to Haiti where they need them more than  I need to text Stacey with my bad health diagnoses. Instead she can give others answers on their health and really help people with more needs than me... but only until Christmas!

  1. Christina, you made me cry..... I know it is hard, especially when you are the one left at home, and things change because someone else is gone. I am just so thankful that we have some internet access at all! The power has been so off an on lately, this is the first morning we have woken up to power since we have been here, but it is supposed to get fixed, and once it does we can try skypeing.
    I realized this morning that Christmas is a long way away too.... i looked at eh date, August 25...what? everyday feels like a very very long day when we're here. how can it have only been a few days that we've been here?
    I like your analogy about the egg...lol! i was a little confused at first, and read the sentence a couple times before continuing to read, when it actually made sense.... and i think you've nailed it, that is how you are...and i am a soft poached egg....pretty tearful, especially now when I read/see pics of people and miss home already.
    We will see you at christmas, for sure, which we are already excited about.... i think by the time christmas comes, we will be very very different people though. We are looking forward to seeing our families though for sure!
    you can email me your diagnoses, and e-mail when you feel crappy, i am still here....and e-mail is just like a text, really...
    Miss you, Stacey.

  2. Christna, you didn't make me cry. I know its hard and you miss Stacey but seriously I thought i'd get a bit more love in that post honestly. Not to worry though I am taking care of your other yoke and she is usually as runny as eggs come but she has been strong so far. i will make sure to give her lots of love and attention because I know for a fact that she will miss you a lot and have some sad moments where she will also make comments comparing you to items on a brunch menu. Say hi to our cute little pysanka and your hard boiled husband haha. Love you!
