Family

So, I'm like thousands of miles away from home and immediate family and I get homesick very often. I guess it's cool that you have friends around you to comfort you and listen to what you have to say, but in my opinion, nobody understands you as well as family. It's true.. nobody knows you the way family does. They've been around you since you came into the world and have seen you grow into the person you are today. When sh** hits the fan, who's always there? Family. I remember coming home after a rough day at school, and I tried hiding it... I was doing great. Everyone didn't notice.. but my dad! I don't know, my mom use to always say "the things that you don't tell us, the Holy Spirit does." So, in other words, you can't hide anything from family. Because they're the ones who are always going to support you. This Christmas, I'm not going to be home. It's pretty sad to think about. I wrote a blog earlier about my baby sister, and she's usually the reason why I wanna come home. I'm missing a lot of her growing up. All my friends around, have family within traveling distance... and I don't mean relatives... I mean parents and siblings and pets! But me? I gotta wait for months to go back home. But not this year... I have to wait til graduation in May to see my family again. I gotta admit, it's gonna be hella hard, because going back home makes me feel refreshed in a way, and also reminds me of who I am and where I come from. So yeah, I know the year is going to go by fast, but there will be those days where it'll feel like the year aint going anywhere. Hopefully I'll be okay. I guess I'm just gonna have to call home EVERY DAY! :) I love my family and like my brother always says "Family is your backbone". So, although I wont be able to see my parents and siblings this Christmas, I know that they're praying for me and supporting me! I love you guys!!!
