I never thought this day would come. I mean, I knew it would happen, but I never thought it would happen so soon. Since birth, Lina has been my big sister, my partner, my confidant and above all my best friend. As the years passed, I recognized that we were getting older and that the date of his departure was approaching, yet I didn't want to believe it. Since last year, she had been going through the grueling college application process, and at the end of May, the University of New Orleans (UN) awarded her a generous scholarship. With a smile full of pride and amazement, he accepts the scholarship and reserves his place in the Psychology sector of the UN. Overshadowed by the great news of his scholarship, we failed to foresee the dark days ahead. All the years we spent together are now images resting in the back of my head. The memories remain, but the days and nights of laughing and having midnight snacks are long gone. All I can do now is sit and wait; waiting for the weather to take effect, waiting for the sun to come and go, waiting four months for her to come home. Lina left on August 19th leaving behind a sea of ​​emptiness. She was hopeful and optimistic, but tears rolled down her cheeks as she said goodbye. She was sitting on a suitcase full of memories with her knees bent trying not to fall. Wearing a brown floral shirt that showed off the color of her skin and a pair of blue jeans, she vaguely resembled my mother's youth. His head was resting on his hands and his elbows on his knees. Like two little birds, his eyes flew across the airport looking at nothing in particular. His nose inhaled the sweet scent of the Nicaraguan people, while his lips silently... middle of paper... the Lina, and I torture myself regretting the constant disagreements we had. Flashbacks come to mind, like in movies, where there is no sound, just the image of your loved one smiling or laughing happily. I continue to cry and cry, unable to stop, and even though I know her leaving was for the best, I still can't imagine living without my best friend. The day finally came and I definitely wasn't ready for it. I believe that no one is ever ready to let go of someone you have loved for over 16 years. However, my time came and I had to do it. I'm happy because I know she's happy. It's already been a month since the day she left and I miss her as much as the first day. August 19th was the day Lina left to start a new phase of her life. Now I just have to wait anxiously for December 12th, when he will return home.
