Nostalgic

Next weekend I am heading back to my hometown of Warren MI for a visit with my dad, my brother and his family, and my best friend. It seems impossible, but it has been almost a year and a half since we were last there. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone, and looking forward to catching up with my brother and doing some reminiscing about our mom. 

As we get closer to going I’ve been finding myself feeling more and more nostalgic and thinking a lot those good old days. So much good has happened in my life, but it is still so hard to know that I can’t share that with my mom and I miss that a lot. I am so grateful to have my wonderful partner, my dad, and my brother, but there are some things that only a mom can do. 

I had a wonderful dream last night where I was hugging my mom’s parents while also holding my mom’s hand and telling them that I hoped their knew how much I love and miss them. In my dream I was crying as I said those words; it was so strong that I felt those tears and woke feeling sad, but also at peace. I had a wonderful visit from them before I head back to MI.
