Missing home.

[sienna_gypsy]

I am really missing home at the moment. I miss my family. They are going through so many things right now without me. I want to be there for them, I want to help. I miss my friends. I don't have any in Victoria. Not a single friend. I consider Megan, Travis, Penny and Emily to be extended family, and they really are lovely *hugs to you guys!* but

Krissy's right - the housework will still be there later and one of those 'one day blitzes' will take care of that when you both have the energy to do it. A decent pair of shoes is a must - we'll treat, just get Jesse to go with you and we'll cover that (I'm a serious advocate of having at least one pair of good shoes.)

I had wondered when the serious crush of homesickness would hit you - it is inescapable, but Krissy is also right about that part - if you went home it wouldn't be Canada and you would miss that. Just think, in a very few months you will be here in Squamish (then you'll miss Victoria - it's a cruel system) and you'll have places to stay where it will be just you and Jess for most of his practicum - the luxury of being able to wander about the house not worrying about who else might be there will be wonderful.

You have done a very brave and scary thing in coming all this way to be with Jess - we are very awed by your bravery and very glad for Jesse's and our sake that you were willing to take that risk. It is hard to be so far away from your own family especially when things are happening and you can't help them. I used to hate those phone calls that started with "Well, now that your father is home from the hospital things are getting better." (What! He was in the hospital! Why didn't somebody tell me there was something wrong?)

We're lucky to have you with us,
