Home sickness.

To my beloved sister.
I know that as I am writing this letter you are miles away. You might even fail to understand what I am saying because your mind is a thousand miles away north of the country you are in right now.
Yes, I know you are physically at Rhodes but your mind is visualising you with your family at home right now. You were the missing piece in the puzzle but now the circle is complete that you are finally home. Your facial expression, that haggard and mournful look tells me that you did not expect to be so far away from home for such a long time. Living away from your parents, sister and your boyfriend especially is a daily struggle for you. Remember that night a fortnight ago when you cried yourself to sleep because you could not take it anymore? Will you ever forget that day when you have already set up a home going count down on your 2008 purple and white planner?
I can tell you are having a tough time with the distance that is between you and home . You can not talk about what is troubling you because you consider yourself as surrounded by strangers who do not understand you the way your mother takes her time to listen to your problems. After all, you feel it is proper to discuss your problems with people who appear as too busy with their own crisis- an assingment that is due in twenty four hours.
This is all part of growing up. This you should know my dear. I know and you can confirm that, in two month's time you will be home. Your thousand mile journey is coming to an end. A smile on your face confirms that what I am saying is true. Soon you will be going home.

With love
Trudy.
