Awwww, a big hug for you. Everything will be ok for you and your family.
I know the feeling of returning to a place I choose to leave behind, but sometimes, life just gets in the way. But there's no shortcut, and soon we'll reap the rewards.
I like how your posts are real, and you are not afraid to show your feelings. Not everyone's like that.
@diabolika, cool, I am not sure that I have every received a digital hug.
Thanks for the encouragement and support. Because of your time overseas, I know that you can relate. We might look the same once we return "home," but we are never the same again inside.
