"Heimweh"

I'm a little homesick for my Family in Germany. Why is it that when you are young you can't wait to get away and when you get older you miss them. Maybe in my case it's the distance. My sister told me once that i was lucky i didn't live so close when she had some conflicts with my Mother but being so far away that it takes crossing an ocean is maybe a little to far. But now that my Mother is gone i know she misses her terribly. Somehow all the petty annoyances become insignificant . I think this time of year makes it worse. I love Canada and never want to live anywhere else but the distance is hard at times.

Awwww...I'm so sorry. Maybe if I was further away from my Mother I would miss her a little bit. I wish you were closer to me!
You're right about absences and distance. I think just knowing you don't have the instant gratification of seeing someone does something to the mind.

I still miss my mother eventhough its 17 years since she died! I often find myself thinking "I must tell Mum that!"

But Canada is a long way from Germany, it must be hard sometimes feeling you can't just "pop over".

But we have to enoy what we have, which is often much better than what we remember with rose-tinted spectacles!

But I do wish I could give you a hug!
