im 21 and live in christchurch so there goes the first part of my story. As many of you know from following the news christchurch as been hit with atleast 3 decent earthquakes (and many aftershocks inbetween)since september last year year 2010, this is a major diffeculty in my life as i find it hard too just decide to leave because not only does my dad and my uncles whom im very close with live here, but im also not sure if my partner of 1.5 years wants to leave either as her brother his wife are due to have a child soon and have also mortaged a home here in chch before the earthquake started rocking our city,not to mention her brother has a job which he loves here at one of the intermidiate schools as a teacher. Also both her parents live here i get along with them very well and they are very supportive to both me and my partner, but considering the circumstances they also cant leave because of job comitments and two homes which they own here.. now the second part of my story is that my beloved mummy rest her sole pased away about three weeks ago at 40 years old. Leaving 5 children three boys aged 7 ,13 ,18 and two girls aged 20 and 21. All us children loved her dearly and it feels so frightning to know that we will not have our mum there during the most crucial moments within our child and adulthood.. for example during the two weeks i spent in auckland helping organise the funeral and gather mummys things, i found out my 20 year old sister is pregnant. My 18 brother is very distrought he only just got a jod here in christchurch with the company i work for now and he has lost his guidence and seams very lost, he wants to come back here and work but flights where delayed because of ash cloud caused by chile volcanoe eruption so he is stuck there but niether him or i are sure if we want him to come back because of the earthquake drama.. on top of that my two little darling brothers 7 and 13 have lost there mum and although iam very happy we found a safe home for them both with my uncle in thames it upsets me that aswell as dealing with everything else they also have to deal with all these big changes. we had no choice but take them out of two wonderfull schools which they love..
on to make matters just that little bit worse the rest of my family live in auckland my sister being one them. after talking to her about moving back there she admitted she didnt think it was a good idea as im very close with her she is aware that is not the city for me i have never liked it in auckland and dont deal well to living there. the only thing i would like about it is clubbing cuz o my gosh i have been dying to have agood night out dancing away.. (clubbing has allways been my scene and now there are none in the very city i started my clubbing seen in)
