Missing my family

It is quite normal that you have to leave loved ones behind when you emigrate. Your new life in a new country makes up for this feeling of loss, if you are lucky.
I was lucky. But at Thanksgiving, when American families gather around a table full of good food, then I wish that any of those on the picture could have been around me, at least once. Many passed away now.

I am grateful for the sweet husband and the good friends that I found here.
