only a plane ride away…
April 25, 2008
I really want to be with my family.
I even took it to the extreme of looking up flights to arizona for next weekend, and they are surprisingly only about 200 bucks. I called my brother and potential arrangements have been made.
Even though my grandma will be dying within the next couple days so I won’t see her…I really want to see my family. Hearing them on the phone I can tell they are not okay… I really want to be there. I want to hug my mom and personally hand my little brother something to cheer him up.
It will be three years this May since my Grandpa Pressel died… that was my hardest death for me of all time. I’m not even sure if I’ve cried that hard since then. This time of year could be why I want to be with them when they are going through a really hard time.
I find myself being sad about her dying even though I never “liked” her… for reasons unknown, just what my family here told me. I had a nice meeting with her last time I was down though, which is probably why it is somewhat sad to me. It’s funny that I never imagined these feelings over her….
Two hundred bucks is totally worth a three day trip to see my family.
Now I just have to look into the work schedule, which could be tedious.
