The question is, when? When will I be able to see my family again? When will I be able to travel to Vietnam and see my family? I get homesick sometimes, mostly during holidays that are meant for family occasions. My parents are always at work and I don’t really have many family members over here. I want to see my cousins grow, laugh with my aunts, and hang out with my grandma. I don’t know when we will have the money to go over and visit but I don’t want it to be too late where my grandparents are no longer in this world. It never affected me as a kid because I had never met my family, but when we came there for a month and got the chance to know everybody, I saw what “family” was supposed to feel like. I never got the chance to know my grandparents and it sucks that I never got the chance to know a few of them before they departed from this world. I’m considering studying aboard this summer in Vietnam for 6 weeks; I’ll be in the north for 4 weeks but were traveling to my mom’s hometown in the south for 2 weeks. Maybe I’ll get the chance to see my grandma, aunts, and cousins again. Money is the only problem, and I don’t want to leave work for 6 weeks because I’ll lose all my contacts within that period. Ok I’m going to stop because I’m tearing up.
