So today is actually Halloween. It hadn’t really hit me that year quite as hard as it did today how much I miss my family and all my neighbors. Our entire street is really close and every year since my family lives on the corner everyone from up the hill comes down to our house and we have a giant table where all the candy buckets are and kids basically hit 10 houses in 1 min. But while the kids are coming around all of us hang out around fire pits and eat my mom’s amazing chili. My mom called me this morning as she was running around for stuff and as she talked about it all I got really homesick. I kinda figured I wouldn’t go home until Thanksgiving break and I didn’t think that I would feel this way anymore now that I am older but I really do miss home and my family a lot. I feel kind of left out when traditions like this are carried on without me being around like I was for the better part of my life. And the weirdest part is seeing all the young kids all grown up I bet I wouldn’t even recognize half the kids who walked through our house this year and not because they were wearing masks. It’s crazy how things can change so quickly. I can’t wait till Thanksgiving though it’ll be so nice to spend a couple days at home especially because I haven’t been in so long. My bed will be extra fantastic!
