Before I left, I said I would not be home sick. The truth is, I think everyone gets homesick sometimes. I think that even though people may get in fights or family members seem to just forget the other. I still think we all at some point in our life feel home sick. The love built inside a family is a love unmatched by anything. It may not be love like firworks but its hidden in your heart, its a piece of you, and whithout that piece your life feels un-whole.
I am home sick, not because I do not like it here, I love it here; but because I came from a huge family and even though we do not show it sometimes we love each other so much. Thats really what I miss, I miss that love, the kind I wake up to every day, and go to bed with at night. Even though that love has not changed I am miles away from it. Home sick to me is not the feeling of wanting to go home, but the feeling of wanting your family here to share your expericences with you.
I was told I will find myself here, and I think I will. When soemone is taking away from everything familiar they find out what truly makes them.... well them. I will find what is me in good time, I know one thing for sure right now, a part of me that is truly me will always be with my family. That is the love that keeps me going.
So yes I love my faimly, and yes I am Home Sick.

Shayann was here and cleaned your room! None of us were quite ready to because we missed you, and your room was left like we expected you back soon.
But one day I stood and looked at all the ribbons and awards on your wall. I never realized how many there are; you have achieved so much.
In some ways you will change with expanding horizons, and add to your achievement wall of ribbons and awards but remember (love is impatient as Abby says!) love never fails. We miss you. We are proud of you.
(Holly had a great idea.)
When does school start? That will be a whole new set of adventures. What is a typical day like for you there?
When school starts let me know because it'd be fun if we could set up some sort of letter exchange between my students and one of your classes (maybe an English class).
This brought tears to my eyes. And I loved your "Kiss" poem. You are a good writer.
It's true, that was the first time mom wanted your room messy.
i'm home sick too, sick of being home lol. I can't go anywhere it's not that mom won't let me its that i don't have you to drive me =] oh jessamyn's here and she says hi, and shes mad that u won't be here for speech. she said " whos gonna remind her to get her scripts of the rack when they go to north platte". lol
Hannah I miss you so much.ITs not the same here without you. Shyanne and I sat in your room cleaning it and doing that made me feel even worse. But I know you will be fine and have a great time there. I have to go now because no ones here to do farm work so it has to be me. LOVE YOU!!
What a lovely poem, Hannah! I am sorry that you are homesick. Isn't life strange. You think you can't wait to get away from home, but then you can't wait to get back home too. I am sure your family is really missing you too. I know how hard it was for me when Mike was in Iraq. You just can't hop in a car, drive for a few hours, and get those hugs and kisses. So you will have to accept all our virtual hugs and kisses. Love Beverly PS I hope you are eating lots of chocolate for me. :)
Hey STRANGER!!!
Just wanted to stop by and say hello and that I am jealous you get to actually spend some time there. All I got to do is move around in the airport a few times..haha
Anyway, hope you are enjoying the rest of your time before school starts. Time will fly by fast once you get in school and next thing you know you will be to the point do I really have to go back already..haha
Trust me, I have been to Iraq twice and you always miss home, but you also find out that when you are away you meet sooooo many new people and friends that it will be hard to leave them behind too..but you will always cherish the new friendships you make.
If you ever need anything from back here, send me an email with your address, etc.. and I will send you a good ol care package from the USA...
Take care and see you soon!!!
