Past by pasar malam(night markets) on our way hm the other day and I saw the cotton candy stall as our car drove by. Suddenly, I realised I missed my kiddy brother a lot. I still remember my dating days where hubs & I will without fail go down to pasar malams when it sets up near my house. Without fail, we would buy a pack of cotton candy back for my kid brother when going hm.
Thus every time when my bro learns tat we are going to pasar malam, he would wait for us to come home eagerly so that he gets to eat his favourite cotton candy. Ever since we got married and shifted to our own house, I dun buy cotton candy for him anymore..
I guess this is part of growing up, you get distanced with your siblings as you build your own family. I dun get to see him often when I shifted out, used to be monthly when I bring mummy out for dinner after payday and would ask him to go along, but then it all changed when he shifted to his gf hse earlier this year.
Now, he doesn't really calls home, didn't bother to come home unless mummy is cooking or he needs to get/bring back things. Dun even know how he is getting on at his gf place. Only time we get to see him is when he meets mummy for dinner once in a blue moon and I would tag along.
Seriously, I miss him a lot, though we have our quarrels while growing up, we were pretty close, I am just like a 2nd mum to him, keeping him in check when mummy gets too soft hearted or busy. Guided and helped him to make many of his major decisions in his earlier part of life. Neber tot we could grew so distance in a matter of months.
As he moved on to his new phase of life, I knew I had to loose my grip on him and allowed him to make decisions on his own..Now, the only thing I can do is to wait for him to approach me should he need any guidance/advice, else, I would just need to give him the space he wanted.
