homesick

Life has been challenging these last two years. But when I think of being a new Mom, while I wish I had my family here to see her and help us along, this has been the easiest part of my life aside from learning how to breastfeed and figuring out how to feed her real food and getting her to sleep- we're in a great stage now...... The hardest part has been being a new Mom and not being able to share her with my parents. And not having that one person to call to say, "I need you here, Mom".

Years, days, & moments that are tough, I am thankful to be able to experience happiness watching Elle laugh and hoping for a life of happiness for her throughout all the years of her life. I pray she never has to face this kind of sadness or loss and that she never has to miss me like I miss my Mom unless she's away at summer camp or something. I used to get homesick a lot. I vividly remember staying over "Stephanie's" house. I would get this strange feeling, a terrible homesick feeling and would call home faking an illness. I missed my Mommy, Dad and my home. And as an adult now, I feel the exact same way. I'm homesick......

I'm praying for a family member that is in need of help. A person that has been in my life since the day that I was born. Always laughing and being goofy with my Mom. Very hurtful to watch someone you love face more darkness in their life when so much has happened to our family.

Wishing us all a little laughter this evening.
