It's been over 2 weeks since I left "home" and told my family goodbye. I was doing ok, since we've been busy swimming, going to the movies, and exploring. Today, it got to me a little more than usual. I was told my step dad's cancer came back and he has to have a kidney removed. Even though Jake and mom divorced years ago, and we don't keep in touch all the time, I always think of him as my step dad. I hope they get the cancer out with the kidney.
I talked to mom on the phone for a few minutes and when she said bye, i was fighting back tears. Add mailing fathers day cards off to my dad today, then seeing my sister post that she's missing us has me pretty home sick now.
Being crammed in a hotel with nothing really to do doesn't help. I keep hoping the housing list moves us up quickly, but its 2 or so a day. still about 20 ahead of us. :( I do NOT want to rent an apartment for a month or more, before we move on post. I hate this part of moving. Sure wish we weren't 14 hours from home.
I miss my family. :(
