today is one of those days when i really do feel like i’m 1,000 miles from home.
one of my best friends back home is in labor. Gracie will be her first child.
i haven’t been to any showers, and just got to see her precious nursery while we were home for Christmas. i’ve treasured the ultrasound pics that she’s sent me… and have insisted o regular updates during the pregnancy.
but, this is one of those days when drew and i wanna be there. so bad. SO bad we can’t stand it.
this is one of those days when i’m so homesick i could cry.
I had this same feeling when my brother and his wife had their first baby in November in Houston and I was in Nashville. Hated it!
So sorry Mandy, truly.
I totally know and understand! Being away from family and loved ones on special occasions is so hard. My daddy called me last night to talk “just because… he needed to hear my voice”. I acted cheerful, but got off the phone and cried.
Sometimes, tears are THE way to go!
