Careful what you wish for

My wish for both my brother and sister to be living near me has finally come true. So why am I not jumping up and down in absolute joy over any of this news? Because it comes at the expense of their happiness and painful circumstances...that's why. Selfishly, I have always wanted them to move back so I could have them around when I needed them or wanted them. Now am going to have that and feel awful about it. I wish they were coming back under different circumstances. I think from now on, when I make a wish, I will specify the circumstances in which the wish may occur. I can do that, right? 


I am pretty thrilled to have their company. Thrilled to have someone to walk with. Thrilled to have someone to go to the park with to play frisbee. Thrilled that Jakob and Lauren will be closer...if that's even possible. Simply thrilled!
