Missing home

All day today I was thinking about home and all of the things that I miss. I don't want to leave here yet, but I am missing things I used to do at home. I already wrote about my sisters so this one's for mama and daddio!

One thing that I miss the most right now is talking with my mom about my day. Everyday after school she'd ask me... How was school, what did you do.... It wasn't like those usual parent/child … How was it... good. What did you do... nothing. We actually talked about a lot of stuff. I loved it so much that I looked for things I could tell her later. Here, because of the language barrier, I can't really do that. And writing down everything that happens is so hard!

Then there's her cooking! Mmmmm!! Anyone that has had a meal made by Kimiko Osterloh will tell you why I miss it so much. The food here is good, but i'm always nervous before I eat it. At home I was never worried about if I would like it or not. Also she would make lunch for me everyday. I know.. i'm lazy and don't do it myself. But I miss thinking.. I wonder what she made today...

Next is daddio! Believe it or not, I miss his jokes. He always put a smile on my face even in the hardest times. I don't blame him for teasing us so much. I mean he has no boys to fight so he has to be a girl and use words! Hehe! Me and my dad would also have some good talks. Whenever we were talking about a song, school ,or anything else we would talk for hours!

If you know my dad you'll know he's always fixing things. Mr. Fix-it! There's never anything that can't be fixed for him. Once he's started on something, he'll never give up... I think I got that from him :) It makes me happy to see him when he's working so hard to figure something out for me. It's then when I can see how much he cares for me.

So that's my parents for ya. It's so hard living without them, but I know that they're supporting me from all the way across the ocean.
Thanks for everything! Love you mom and dad!
