American Family.

It's always a nice feeling going to Portsmouth to visit our family there. I don't think there has ever been a time when I haven't felt completely welcomed with open arms. Today was no exception. 

It makes me feel happy to know that Mum has family here to offer her support and love. 

We went down for a visit today and spent some time with Tylene and Alain, and then took Grammy out for dinner. 

Just these simple acts of being around family make me feel a little home sick. 

I got an email from my grandma today and it nearly brought tears to my eyes reading it. In that instant I felt so far away. I wanted to pick up the phone and call her but it's not that simple. I think I need to sort out a cheap way to call her! The same thing happened yesterday when u got an email from my Dad. Made me happy to hear from him, but sad to feel so far away. 

Might need to get them to install some apps so we can exchange voice messages and calls online. That can be my project for this week.
