the train doors shut and it slowly picked up speed, leaving the platform behind. the faces of my little cousins and my uncle peered after me, little hands waving goodbye.
that was the moment when it hit me that i was moving from denmark. two weeks left at the school, i had decided to take the time to visit family before leaving, making sure to catch up and enjoy the last moments. i just hadn't really fully realized what was happening yet. i had booked a ticket for home back in march or something, at of course at that time, it was so far out in the distance. but time fled past.
