I miss my Mum & Dad.
I miss all my other family members.
I miss my wonderful friends, all so special to me.
I miss playdates.
I miss walks with friends.
I miss girls nights.
I miss Ladner.
I miss all the relationships Lucy & Ainsley have (and so do they).
Relationships mean so much to me, and I am blessed with such meaningful ones. I'm starting to wonder how I can do a year and a half more without everyone. This is hard and I'm feeling so sad.
A house doesn't make a home.
Dear Wendy Darling,
ReplyDeleteOh, your post made me really sad. I'm sorry you are feeling homesick right now. I hope after writing your thoughts down you may feel a little bit better? I can't imagine how it would feel to move away from all that is familar. I hope once the Calgary weather warms your feelings will diminish somewhat. Sunshine has a way of lifting one's spirits. I miss seeing you, Jose, the girls on a regular basis, esp living in our wee little town. Ladner is surely not the same without the Frasca Family. Take care of yourself and know what your friends back home really love and miss you. XO
aww Wendy!! We miss you guys too. Pretty soon though I will see you all and we will have a great few days together. And then once spring hits more people will be coming to see you and then you guys will be coming here as well. I'm just glad that you are only an hour long plane ride away. I remember my mom being sad just like you are when we were alone in Canada..and Peru is a lot farther away! No matter where you are you will make "family" of your own wherever you are, just like we did in Canada, and the family and friends here in BC will always be here as well. Can't wait to see you all next month!!!!!! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments girls - they lifted my spirits. I miss you lovelies a lot! April - we're coming out in June, so will have to make plans for then. Kisses to little Abby - I miss her too!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm about 1/4 of the way through our Albertan adventure - the glass is filling :)
Someone said to me once that it takes 2 - 3 years before you feel really home in a new city or country. I believe that is true. It took me a long time to feel at home in Canada, but even though I am happy here now, I will never stop missing my family and friends. But it does get easier :o)
ReplyDeleteHope March is better for you!
Love, Hege
Thanks Hege! March has been better... had a visit from a girlfriend and her daughter, and my sister-in-law Fio is coming out next week, then my Mum is April. I'm just not sure this will ever feel like home, especially since the plan is only to be here for 2 years. Probably by the time we're ready to come back, I'll start feeling happier here!! I'll keep trying though.
