To those who have felt homesick,

I haven't felt homesickness in awhile now. But I desperately want to hug my mom and dad!!! They have always supported me in everything that I have done. Now here I am, unsure about what I am suppose to do. Somehow, I feel like they know me better than I know myself. Being around them reminds me and affirms why I am the way I am. I need a reminder.

Lately, I have had the privilege to spend more time with my sister. It is wonderful. Memories pop up. Last night I had a small rice bowl of raisin bran cereal which served as a little dessert. For some reason, we would have the same small rice bowl of cereal for breakfast every morning before middle and high school. Now, I am shocked that we ate so little seeing as though for breakfast now I eat an egg sandwich and some fruit. I am not sure if my sister knew but I packed our lunches so full that if we were hungry before lunch, a mid-morning snack was waiting. I consumed mine.

Dreaming of eating some homemade pho,

P.S. My dad comes in 21 days. He is a beautiful person and I can't wait to see him.
