Clicks Heels 5 Times


Inhales deeply and releases the weight from my shoulders.

I’m officially homesick
.
I haven’t dealt with this ailment since last November, but I got over it and moved on because I knew I had many months to go. Now its the end of April and I’m seriously contemplating extending my stay until August 2. What do I do? 
Listening to MercyMe’s Finally home as I let the waves of Nostalgia wash over me.  My memories of home are like  childhood experiences that I can’t recapture, but you always long to get back. I miss my car and driving with no destination in mind,  with all four windows down and the music blasting. I miss my nieces kisses and warm exclamations. Smooth roads and street lights.  I miss hotdogs and cookout iced tea. I miss my neighborhood and the aroma of freshly cut grass on Saturday mornings. Cartoons and my best friends. I miss my mommy and daddy and our extremely loud family. Rambunctious two year olds and the hup-in. Sticky hands and sweet kisses.
I miss feeling grounded.
But this too shall pass. I'll be okay. 

There's still so much more for me to learn and experience and I don't want to leave Ghana remembering everything that I wish I'd done.
Still Breathing
