Bless Me Ultima: Chapter 8

In chapter eight of "Bless Me Ultima" I couldn't help but feel bad for Tony because his brothers had just came back from war and they want to leave again. The reason why they want to leave is reasonable, but it still hurts mostly since he looks up to them so much. I remember when my favourite cousin moved to Dallas, I was devastated. My cousin and I were joined to the hip and did practically everything together. After she left we visited Dallas all the time and each time when I had to say bye I cried and so did she. Eventually after many years I don't even feel sadness for seeing her leave because we don't have a strong relationship anymore. I'm scared that when Tony's brothers leave he will end up losing the relationship he has with them as the years pass.
