Away from the Family
Being far away from my family. I thought I could take it, I believed I would be strong.
Today is his birthday. My son is 22 years old. A man.
I have not seem him for, almost 2 years.
When I came here it was for a better life. A good job and a nice income. But then the problems came.
My health took over and I could no longer work. Every month the money got less. But the bill's keep
coming in. I wanted so much to be able to visit my family. At least once a year. I thought it would be possible.
Never realizing things could change.
I miss them dearly. Though I normally don't cry. Today I started. Confused because of what life has brought me.
I don't mean to complain. But, today is a special day. It is my son's birthday. We talked on the phone.
I could hear them all in the living room. Laughing and talking. It was a great sound to hear. They were all their.
Eating pancakes, my Dad had baked for them all.
When I heard them all, I felt an intense pain. I never thought I would have this. Because I am a loner.
I have been alone most my life. Never really had the feeling of missing anyone, so much as I do now.
But, I am happy that everything is going well. I am grateful for hearing them all.
Some day, I will have money again. Someday I will be able to visit my family.
Until then I will wait to see what life has to bring. A new future, a new beginning.
Still, I never knew I could miss my family so much. Mom, Dad, my daughter and my son.
My children have relationships, and I am so far away. I am missing so much. I did not realize that
I would not be able to go home. I love them all dearly.
