Sara is more than a friend, she is my sister. We have been through hell and high water and then some together. I love her so very much. Five years ago she gave me the most precious gift in the form of my Godson Gabriel.
Today Sara gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She is gorgeous, and perfect, and 1000 miles away.
I don't get homesick as much as I used to. But today is so hard. I have been sitting here looking at her picture just crying. I want to be there to hold her. I want to be there to take care of Sara. I want to be there to hug Gabe and let him know he's still my special little man. But I'm 1000 miles away. For all the advances in technology that keep us "connected", there is nothing like being there in the flesh. How do you send your love from so far away? Is it even possible to have a real connection with people that are so far away? How can I make the ones I love back home know how much I miss them and think of them. I am doing the best I can out here in Texas. There are times I'm not miserable at all here. But then there are days like today.....
