my parents came and visited me from out of town. it was so great to see them again, and they brought so much energy back into my small crummy apartment and isolated life. but now they have gone back home and it is back to an empty room and not having anyone to talk to.
yeah, that is true. absence makes the heart grow fonder that is the truest statement ever spoken. i am one of the lucky ones who has good parents that i wish i could be around all the time. they are funny, they do not nag, they are supportive and encouraging, and always insightful.
i am so glad you got to visit with them! i know how you feel to be far from family and home alone. take heart that you are loved by your family and friends even when they are not around.
