so where in US are you guys going to be settling?
I know its really stressful. My family (my mom and my brother and my other brother) are all far away from me. I won't lie to you, its not easy and it does not seem to get easier as time passes. I miss my mom each and everyday and my brothers, well the sad thing is Ive lived without one for almost 10 years and I feel that we are barely family anymore. The other one I miss sooooo much its an ache in my heart nearly everyday.
I know you are saying to yourself "how is this helping me?? HELLO!" sooo That all being said, its sooo exciting to learn new areas, new countries. You are doing something that I bet tons of people wish they could do. Its taking the bad with the good in this case! You will have things you LOVE and thing you HATE about being seperated from all that is familiar. Embrace the change and know that visits are a plane trip away.
