Kids make it so hard to leave.
« on: July 16, 2003, 09:04:57 PM »
After a glorious 2 weeks in America (see Announcements) it was time to say goodbye to my American family again, this time for 6 months. Funny how last time I was in America I couldn't wait to get back to England, but that's cause I spent the whole time with my parents. This time though - I saw more of my family together than I've ever done before. ANd I didn't want to leave. So okay I'm saying goodbyes and I haven't cried yet, until I get to Elena.

Elena is 3. She is one of my neices. This is how the conversation went.

"Goodbye Elena, I have to leave now."

"Why?"

"Because I have to go back to England, I have to go home."

"But this is your home."

*here's where I start crying*

"But I live in England now."

"But your OURS!"

**weep**

Those darned kids.
:P

Awwww, that would've made me cry too. I am not sure if I'm leaving for England in September or December, but I know it will be so difficult to say goodbye to all of my little cousins. When I've spoken to them about me moving, they did not understand why I wanted to live "so far away." "Don't you want to be with us anymore?" It really does bring you to tears. {{{Marlespo}}} [smiley=hug.gif]
