I first left home; Karachi for Hong Kong when I was 10…. And life seems to have come such a full circle now watching my kids at the same age, navigating the feelings and emotions that I have experienced all through my life.
No matter where I lived since, there were always loved ones left behind. Grandparents, cousins, friends, and everytime I thought this time it’ll be easier. The bonds got stronger as the distances grew farther, but always with a heartbreak.
But dost let me tell you…
It never gets easier
The grief and the gratefulness…. These two feelings live side by side….
But the goodbyes never get easier 💔
