Growing Up but Not Growing Apart
I have two siblings, both of them are older than moi. I am more closer to my brother, who is only three years ahead of me. Even until now, I used to live with him and his wife until their daughter was born and they decided to live closer to my sister in law's who's just like 10 kms away. Sometimes he comes here visiting (or more likely doing inspection whether or not I keep this place cleaned enough for a human being lol), and thankfully since he doesn't live that far, my brother always offered help when I needed.
My sister, on the other hand, lives in Surabaya with her husband and two children. Back when I started picking University, my dad wanted me to go the same uni with my sister so we could live together. It didn't happen because I didn't get accepted (and deep down I was thankful because I don't think I could handle living with her lol). On the other hand, she has been a very supportive sister though. We weren't really that closed growing up because she's five years older and she entered boarding school when I was in second grade.
Even though we have grown up but our parents don't want us to grow apart. That's why they created this WhatsApp group so we could share news with each other, sometimes we video call too with addition of the toddlers (but let's be honest, my parents just wanted to see their grandkids lol). Let's just hope we still have each other's back until we're older.
