Sara

On August 1st 2008, I received a text message from my sister in Serbia telling me that she had a surprise for me. I do not know why, but in the first moment I thought that she was pregnant. I preferred to wait to talk with her and I called her. Those few seconds, while the phone was ringing, felt like an eternity for me and my heart was pounding. In my head I had millions of thoughts and I was thinking maybe something happened to my parents, or to her. When I heard her happy voice I knew that something nice had happened. She told me that she had one month of pregnancy and I was going to be an aunt. It was a big surprise for me. I could not say anything. Even today I cannot believe that she is pregnant, maybe because I am not in Serbia and she is not here and I cannot see her belly. She was engaged but not married. They got married on November 1st and that had made me very sad. She got engaged in March this year, and I missed it. That day I promised her that I was not going to miss her wedding, but, unfortunately, I was not able to be there. Money and school were disabling me to be there. These days we are expected a little baby girl Sara, and I am so exited.
