That may be exactly it, Alyssa– I don’t get to see my family very frequently. I see my parents about twice a year, for a couple days at a time; I see my brother once a year, at Christmas; and I haven’t seen my sister and brother-in-law in five years (and I haven’t even met two of my nieces!). If we could visit each other more often, it would be easier. As it is, well, it sucks.

I am very close to my family, live on the other end of the country from most of them and yet I cannot relate to this feeling and sometimes that worries me when I hear others talk about this heart wrenching departure feeling. Of course, I manage to fly home fairly often and I talk to my mom more times a week than I care to admit so maybe I just don’t go long enough between visits. I love my family, just in controlled portions.

You only go around once. Family first.

I understand that heartbreak. You’re a clever girl; you’ll make it happen.
