Thanksgiving.
A day for giving thanks.
I thank god that I was accepted into my new school. I'm thankful that I have wonderful family members here that are looking out for me. I thank god that we're all doing fine. I'm glad that everyone in my class is nice and friendly and that my teachers are equally so. I am grateful that I have a good computer, a hot meal everyday, and a roof over my head. I'm glad that I don't have to worry much about money and I'm happy that I have something of a idea of how Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby are laid out so I don't get lost too bad. I like how I got to spend the evening with everyone that came to eat dinner. I love that I'm with Apoh and Guhn Guhn, Charmaine, Ethan, Sai Yee Yee and Uncle Steve. I like how Mimi, Jan, Illiana and Isabell are within bussing distance, but no matter how I try to look at it I can't help but find myself feeling like something is missing.
I miss mama, I miss baba, I miss yee yee, I miss Edmonton. I miss Ling being a lazy slob and not cleaning up after herself. I miss going to superstore with Corinna, Terence and Felix and going home with bags and bags of groceries and then having to go out next week and do the same thing again. I miss watching the sunset from my window and still being awake to watch it when it rises. I miss going to church with Sarah. I miss being able to type to Ling on msn when she asks what I’m cooking for dinner even though we really could just say it out loud because we’re actually just sitting right next to each other. I miss these and more and no matter how much I try reminding myself that I'm lucky to be here, getting the chance that I'm getting. I find that at times like this I'm always the same.
I'm homesick.
And I just want to go home.
