That's about the distance between instances which are completely overwhelm me and make me really miss the people I have left behind. Many things came together quickly today and hit me with "the feeling" today (and it is a nearly impossible thing to explain, many have felt it on some level, but unless you have spent a considerable amount of time living overseas you will not be able to fully understand the depth of disappointment of being away).
At various times I have had something similar, whether it was while away at college or summer camp when I was younger. The problem with both of those scenarios is that at any point you can pack up and go home. That hasn't been an option during my travels. While I am experiencing things that others aren't, that's part of the problem. I'm doing most of these things alone.
With Christmas right around the corner and a new nephew waiting for me at home, "the feeling" has hit extra hard this time. Before, I was missing graduations and birthdays (neither of which I wish to diminish the importance of), but now I am missing births and consecutive holidays. I know I have been called to do works which will help the kingdom, but some days are harder than others.
Missing you guys... so much.
