Why? At the airport, Ramona stood fumbling for the right words.
Her niece,
Ruso was about to leave on a journey he had dreamed for forever. The lion plush Ramona had gave him when he was only a kit, was now tucked under Ruso's arm, even though many would say he's too old to carry around stuffed animals around with him.
Ruso was so much like her, and watching him grow up made her feel as if she was re-living her childhood memories. All the shows and trips Ramona took Ruso to swarmed in her head.
It would be years at the least till the next time she would see him...
"Hey, aunt Ramona..? I-I feel nervous.. what if they decide they don't want me there..?"Ramona gave a soft laugh
"Oh, Ruso! Don't worry, they'll love you! What's not to love about you! You have the most unique way of thinking, and you have the skills to back it all up."Ramona stroked Ruso's cheek
"And of course, you're so sweet and compassionate, you'll meet so many new people and make so many new friends"She said acutely aware of Ruso's insecurities.
"I'll miss you so much aunt Ramona... you'll call me, right?""Of course, of course! I'll miss you too... you have to tell me about all the cool new things you learn, okay?"Ruso gave a small nod with the sweet smile of his
Ramona undid her necklace and placed it around Ruso's neck. A thin golden chain with a rather tiny pendant, barely noticeable other than the sharp reflection of light.
"This necklace gave me so much luck. It is now your turn, you'll do fantastic, don't you worry"Ruso gave Ramona a tight hug before heading towards the entrance.
Ramona smiled and waved at him with a smile,
bittersweet and nostalgic.
