But its a little sad too, cause this is my first holiday without my mom, dad, brothers, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle and cousins and all my friends, including my best one, Sylver. And I miss them so much. We sadly couldn't go to Florida with my parents due to Josh working. I'm not mad, and I definitely am so thankful that it's because I have a husband and he has a job. But I'm homesick and have been fighting tears all day.
I just received a Thanksgiving card from my grandmother, and that ruined me. I'm now a teary mess. I would give up chocolate for a year for a hug from my mom right now.
I'm thankful.
Edit!
My mom, not knowing about this post, sent me this picture after I sent her a text saying "I miss you.
Caption:"Me hugging you"
I've had a few Thanksgivings without my fam when I was away at college... But that doesn't make this one any easier. Being 2600 miles from home or only 100 miles from home-- you're still not with the family you love.
But it's true-- having a job is definitely something to be very thankful for! Not to mention an awesome husband :)
Awwwww, yeah. Being away from home or with the people you love or in simpler terms for what I am trying to say, your family, especially on the holidays is hard. I love you mam, and I keep you and Josh in my prayers daily. <3 Happy Thanksgiving! I love you. :]
I am feeling the same thing.
And knowing that what I've chosen as a career leaves little margin for family,
I'm even more saddened.
I understand to the utmost degree,
well, aside from the being married part.
I hope you're doing well.
:)
