Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
"And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt."
-Cash
I've spent the last two weeks in Mississippi, and now my heart is broken because I am back here in Alaska, and so many people that I love are so far away.
William had the best time on the farm playing with his cousins and helping me and his grandfather complete odd jobs and projects. He followed us around everywhere. The first new word he learned how to say down there was "tractor." Once, while we were working, he took a hand full of our bottom soil and shoved it in his mouth. Then, he grinned a dirty and proud grin. All I could think was, "Well, now you've done it. You've got this land in you, and it will never let go. Someday you'll be homesick, like your papa."
I'll post more later.
