Today I received a text from my mom that said, "I've been wishing all of you girls were little again. Like in the house in New Jersey. I miss being the mom of four young girls. You are all growing up..." While I'm away from home and at college, my older sister has recently graduated from flight attendant training. She still has my two younger sisters but they're old enough to do their own thing without the help of my mother. Reading this text made me a little homesick for the first time since I moved out and it made me think of all the things I missed back home. But instead of dwelling on what I can't access or who I can't be near anymore, I've decided to spend this week further exploring my new town. Until then, these are the things I can't wait to get back to when I visit for Thanksgiving along with some things I stumbled across that remind me of home.
A letter from my sister written inside a photo album given to me last Christmas.
My beautiful akita, Sadie and the occasional snow-fall.
Going all out for Halloween.
Not to mention, my walk-in closet, pecan pie milkshakes and of course, my family.
