Homesick

My sister in law had their fourth baby early this morning. My brother called me this morning.

My first thought was "Maybe the kids and I should jump in the van and drive to Iowa. 16 hours is so doable."

I just want to snuggle that new little niece.

It makes me sad to think about when I get to meet her.

My cousin was up for homecoming queen last night.

I probably won't get to see her graduate either.

Living life far away from family is hard.

Some days harder than others.

Today is one of the harder days.

  1. Wishing you could have been there to hold your niece.

    Wishing you could have been there for the Friday night festivities.

    Wishing you were able to be closer to your family.

    BUT REALLY THANKFUL you are in my life and I am blessed to know you here! :)

  3. I love you, Chunk. I wish you lived closer (for you and for me).

    Jump in the van. You can stay with us if you want.
