hurt...

I'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow... I finally get to come home. And the whole time I've been gone, well, it's been hard, and I've missed everyone a whole lot, but it has been bearable, it's actually gone smoother than I could have planned. But tonight, tonight of all nights - the day before my arrival, I have been a mess - an emotional wreckage per se. And I can't really figure out why. Maybe it's not until the thing I have been missing most, being surrounded by those who care and love me, is finally so close that I truly realized what I have been missing - and how badly I have missed it. You all better watch out, because I do know one thing for sure, when you give me a hug consider this your warning - I may never, ever let go.

Oh how I cannot wait to see you!
