First world problems I know, but I may have visited home too many times this year. I made the 25+ hour flight three times the 2014 calendar year, but each reason was completely legitimate, I promise.
- In May I went home for Mother's Day, my Mommy's 50th birthday, and Robinson & Hien's wedding
- In August I took a one month holiday in between contracts with the SASDC in South Africa and FTC in Namibia. During that month I split time between my Daddy and Aunty Tammy's wedding in Hawaii, birthday celebrations in California, and reuniting with friends in New York
- Finally, I spent Christmas with my Mommy & Sky back at home in December.
Yes, at times it can be difficult and not to mention expensive, to maintain long distance friendships... and all relationships for that matter.
But yet, real love is timeless. It doesn't die. It knows no bounds.
Highlights from visiting home in the San Francisco Bay Area:
