Homesick Part II

I really want to see my family. Unfortunately, I don't have much vacation time saved up yet, and my parents' plans of visiting me are up in the air right now. Boo.

I had a dream last night that my parents, my cousins, and their 2 little girls, Natalie and Nicole, came to visit me. It felt so real. In my dream, my house looked just like it does in real life. I showed them to the guest bedroom and around the house. The only faces that I could see clearly were Natalie's and Nicole's. Their bright, smiling faces, running around my house as they explored. Then I woke up... only to find myself alone in the guest bedroom. I've been sleeping in there so that I don't get Brett sick.

It makes me sad that I don't get to see Natalie and Nicole grow up. I went from seeing them every day, to just once a year. They will always be ages 2 and 3 in my heart, because that's how old they were when I left. Kinda pathetic, huh?
