I went to Switzerland, France, and South Africa this past summer. I’d been everywhere but Switzerland before, but I was traveling for three months, so that’s got to count for something. It definitely made me feel like traveling is less impossible than I thought it was, so maybe I’ll see some new places soon . . .
I lost my mom over a year and a half ago, and it’s still so hard sometimes. I feel like I’m way too young to have no parents. But, the eternal optimist, I still feel that I’m lucky to have had her for 25 years, and I wouldn’t trade her for another mom that would have lived until I was 50. I miss her, though. It’s hard to be all on your own.
Is anyone else out there in this situation? Sometimes I just want to talk to someone who understands what I’m going through.
