Homesick
My recent visit reminded me of everything that I miss about Florida. And that's a lot.
But it goes far, far beyond brunching with friends or sharing a playlist on a long highway drive.
My sister called me tonight. She was seriously distraught over a conflict with our mom.
I thought about the night that Brian died. Josh and I drove shaken and exhausted from a party in Orlando.
And I remembered leaving a meeting with my thesis advisor and jumping a bus when Kayla was born.
It's painful to realize now that, no matter how desperately my family may need me in the future, I will not be able to drop everything and rush to them.
How long would it take?
Not much else going on, except that Billy and I accidentally dyed my hair purple.
