Why I Wish You Were Here

I moved to Boston from Georgia in January 2007, and I haven't looked back. I've long since accepted that the northeast is where I want to build my life, but it doesn't make it any easier to be so far from those I love. Today I'm missing my family, especially my adorable niece.

Dear Mak,

Today (and most days) I wish you were here to bake cookies with me, tell me to wait my turn, and laugh when I dance like a goofball (rather than stare blankly like all these adults do). You are so filled with joy, it's near impossible not to be joyful around you. 

Lovelove,

Auntie Mel

Mini Daily: Why I Wish You Were Here

It's hard being far from the ones we love. Duh. Everyday I have at least one thought about why I miss someone that I'm currently missing, and I thought I'd keep track of them and maybe someday send to them to let them know they're thought of, and often.

Today's is for the good ol' boyfriend, who's on a field trip with his school but is usually an hour away where he lives.

Dear Mike,

Today I wish you were here to keep me from eating an entire burrito from Olecito.

Love,

Melk

Who are you missing & why?
