Kenny got married last Saturday.
It was a beautiful ceremony and I am so very happy for my little bro. His wife is very sweet and I know they will make it as a couple.
It's just so strange to go from being care-free kids together to having our own families & spouses. Granted, I got married 7 years ago and left him first....I guess as an older sister {Kenny probably doesn't care as much}, it's just like saying a final goodbye.
Goodbye to those childish ways and on to the real deal of life.
Goodbye to the many mindless joking & banter and on to more discussions on how to deal with financial hardships and newborn sleepless nights.
Goodbye to spur of the moment concerts & throwing parties while Dad is out of town {sorry Dad} and on to scheduling a month in advance for a time to hang out.
Goodbye to midnight singing & guitar sessions, dreaming of being rock stars.
Goodbye to being the person he needs to talk to about girls and struggles {that will actually be nice}
Goodbye to our innocense.
Goodbye to many things, things that at one time were taken far too much for granted.
In my own selfish thoughts- I want them back.
But then I would miss what is to come in this new chapter in his life. Being there in a different way for him, a more mature and perhaps even more meaningful way- as adults, spouses, and parents. As far as I can see it, it can only get better. It will be a "new normal" eventually. It makes me feel blessed to have a sibling I care so much about- a real friend. Congratulations Kenny & Ingrid Robertson!
