Home

Today I realized I miss home. This is the first time I have been away from home for more than a week. I miss my puppies, but most of all I miss my David. I've also realized that there is more I miss in my life all together. I miss being able to touch someone that I love very much. I want to hold him close and have him hold me as well. I think that somewhere along the way, we lost that and need to get it back. I just wonder how many people lose their way in a relationship after they get comfortable? I really hope we can get it back because I miss it.

I also realized that I miss being around family. I grew up with a large extended family that got together at least once a week. I miss the arguments and debates we would have around my Aunt Evelyn's kitchen table. I absolutly love David's immediate family, but I honestly don't care for a good number of his aunts and uncles. I also don't really know many of his cousins either, but most of them are only teenagers and I know I don't have that much in common with them.

I also miss having friends to gather at the house for dinner and drinks. I remember when I lived in Shrieveport, JT and I would always have a house full of folks at least one night of the week. Other nights, we would all gather at someone else's house, or just meet out at a resturant and then go out dancing. I want to find friends like that in Philly especially if we don't get transferred.
