a little bit about my feelings

my mom came to visit over the weekend, and it was wonderful.  we have always had such a complicated relationship, but despite that, she is everything to me and moving away from her has been harder than i could have ever imagined.   usually i go visit mom in cleveland, but every so often she drives up here to see us and i really love that because, i mean, its awesome having my mom come visit me in my marital home.  

but i miss her and i feel lonely for her right now.  i’m really excited that the trip to cincinatti is only a couple of weeks away becuase not only do i get to see my mom again, i get to see melanie and her mom!  i’m really really looking forward to that weekend.  

i don’t talk about it a lot, but it really is harder than i thought, moving away from my family and friends and living in another country.  i love it here, but sometimes i just crave the familiarity that comes with your home turf, and the comfort of my mom and grandparents being only a few minutes away. 

anyway.  i just wanted to put my great love for my mom out into the universe.  i love my mom and i’m just so grateful for her.
