Teaspoon of Homesickness

I was thinking about this recently, mostly because Jordan's parents came down for a visit last week. I miss my mom and dad. I have always had a really good relationship with my parents. I am very proud of that. Most of my friends honestly can't say the same. My mom and dad have always been so supportive of whatever I've wanted to do. They've always encouraged me to follow my heart and to do what makes me happy. In my late teenage years, my parents had become my closest friends. I could always count on them to help me or to guide me. If I needed someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. I was always very lucky to have one (or both) of them around for support. I get to talk to them on the phone sometimes, but often our schedules conflict and we just don't get to call each other. It makes me so sad because my parents have been through alot and I miss them so much.


I was and always will be a Daddy's girl. I always had my father wrapped around my pinky finger. I can't imagine how hard for him it must have been to give me away at my wedding and a week later, watch me move 3 states away from him. I applaud his strength. Daddy was my best friend in high school. I will never forget all those mornings that he would drive me to school and we would just talk. About everything really. Random things. Mostly about school or something about history. Oh what I would give to be able to see him every day like that again. I miss just having him there to talk to, or ask advice about. He gives the best advice lol.


I love my mom so much. Mommy was always the best at comforting me if I ever needed somone. She had the best encouragement and the best hugs anyone could imagine. Anytime I was troubled or hurting, I could always trust Mommy to make it better. I complained alot about her being embarrassing, but she really wasn't. I love Mommy exactly the ways she is and I would never change it. Ever. I miss going to the mall to visit her. Everytime I would go to the mall, I would always stop by Macy's and see her. I absolutely loved having my mom work at the mall. That was the coolest thing ever. If I was shopping, I would show her what I got or ask her if she thought it would look good on me. I miss shopping with her. She is so good at finding a good bargain.

It was really hard for me to not be there with them during the holidays. I know how much they look forward to seeing me and how much I look forward to seeing them. :( it's definitely a load on my heart that I won't get to see them until March.

I miss them so much.
