The Closing Chapter

As i sat in the taxi cab one fine saturday afternoon, my mind drifted away, to times past to when i was a little younger, i picked up my phone and tried calling my favourite cousin, now a father and husband and worker (The regular man), his phone rang and rang and there was no answer from him. He must be busy
I said to myself. Things had really changed since he got married and fathered a daughter, back when he was in university, i remember the "good old days", when
he would come over to see my mom and dad, and then us, we hung out together, my fondest memory of him was when he took me to see a video game arcade center for the first time, that was when i truely fell in love with games. we all hung out together. I would not even be writing if not for him.
Wow, how times had indeed changed, but he is not the only example of how things moving around, my sisters are all grown up now, none having my time anymore.
Back when we were growing up my elder sister and i would fight and bicker over the smallest of things, she had all the authority in the world, now a doctor and about to wed i must confess i really miss her and my brother.
My brother and i would hang out together he was my one true friend and protector when i was growing up and as selfish as it might sound i wish time would rewind just one more time so we could hang out.
But none of those are going to happen anytime ever.
As a chapter in my family ends and new ones begin, i really wish (selfish as it may sound) that we had more time to connect before time and new perspectives make us strangers to each other. Me the strangest of them.

The chapter is closing for the better, that am sure of, i will try to make myself valuable to these new chapters as much as possible, the story has not ended it will only get better. As much as i want to go back am sure things, better things are ahead, new stories and experiences better and much more fun than video games
and arcades.
To my sisters, my brother and my favorite cousin, i truely truely wish them will, am sure from time to time we will hang out but not as individuals in a family but
as families.
