This year I hope to have a better life

13 years from where I used to live. And now it’s gone, it faded. Panama, Panama. Those were the scariest words at that time. All I thought was: new people, new school, new language, and new life. When I first heard dad will be sent to Panama for three months I was so scared. On my own knowing I had little time left. It was time to say goodbye to the country I was born, fed, and educated. Not much time passed tears started everyday. And finally the day came. 28 July was the worst day of my life. Aunts, uncle's, grandmas, grandpas, cousins and many more came. My house was full of baggages and people who were important to me. Time to say goodbye!



But no! It appeared my aunt and uncle will be driving us to the airport instead of a taxi. The road usually lasts 20-25 minutes. And for 20 minutes I got extraordinary happy! Even though it was 20 minutes, my life was concentrated only on those 20 minutes, which were the best of my life and the saddest. We arrived, and this time there was no going back. I jumped to my memories and lived all those beautiful moments I had with my relatives. But this time I had no time to repeat it again. The next time I will see them again will be next year. I took the baggage's I was supposed to carry and hugged my relatives so they could barely breathe. Everyone was crying besides me. I still couldn't realize that I won’t see them for one more year. And then the plane arrived. I would have given all my life to just live that moment for five more minutes. And then I woke up from my memories and now I saw their faces were clear. Last hug last moment. As soon as I boarded the plane and it took of after couple of minutes, I started missing them. I kept memorizing and memorizing all those great times with them and now no more. Since that moment on, I realized that the family is the best thing that ever happened to me
