This is SO true. Sometimes i don't think people have understood my feeling SO homesick for family at times. It's my decision to move away (New Orleans is no place to live anymore) but still, it's where my very precious loved ones live so i need to go several times a year.

Sometimes i just feel VERY far away from them and for no real reason, sometimes i just miss them even though i see them more now, than i did when i lived there.

i do not wish to move back, but sometimes i wanna be there, in a moment.

i think it's awesome that you get that.
