New Homes

Yesterday was a terrible work day. It had many let downs. It also had many revelations. There are many things I push aside becoz I don’t want to focus on them right now. Yesterday they just came to the fore and I had to deal with them. I’m glad they did. I know I’m dealing with that laziness streak.
Now my family’s growing up. I moved out in June, my brother yesterday and my sister’s moving out on Friday. I guess I never imagined that this is how it’d happen. I only pictured us visiting each other at our separate homes but I never conjured how that’d come about. The most I did was just to accept that somehow people would move out on their own. Maybe becoz we’re not a typical example of a Zimbabwean family that’s why the moves had to happen the way they did and with such timings. My prayer right now is that the binds will grow stronger despite the proximity of each of us to the next sibling. That did happen in my case and I pray that the same now happens for all of us. We used to joke and laugh about what each of the home’s would be like and the kind of hospitality offered. Now pudding’s done and the taste will be in the eating. I’ll almost bet on this one- exotic flavour!
