homesick
I called home today after weeks of not doing so and I drove my mom out of bed and she was grumpy at first but I think she was happy to talk to me…she started out sounding a little disgruntled but eventually we were just talking before the connection was lost.
I sat in the living room and just thought about it and I realized that I haven't told my mom a lot of what's been happening to me during these past few months, which are inconsequential and would only lead to her asking me prying questions about my personal life but at least I used to have that.
I think she spoke less Cantonese to me this time and I was writing her back an email addressing that and suddenly I was just struck with such a strong wave of sadness that I had to go back to my room and cry.
I haven't felt this kind of homesickness in such a long time. It felt good.
