Alone.
You really don't realize what you've got till it's gone.
For 23 years I've taken my family's presence pretty much for granted. I was always immensely grateful for their ever-present support and love, and I still very much am. But from where I am right now, I value it all the more.
I miss my mom. I miss my dad. I miss my brothers. I miss my sister.
I miss my friends.
I've new family and friends here, but it simply isn't the same.
But I guess that's part of growing up and getting a move on in life.
Independence, here I come.
