Visiting Home

Every time I go home, and its time to head back,

Every time Amma asks me to stay for some more time,

Every time I sit in a flight and watch the coconut trees becoming smaller and smaller,

I have tears swelling up in my eyes!


PS: I have just been home for a good 5 days and I just did not want to come back so quickly!

    I know what you mean. Everytime I leave for home, I miss what I leave behin. When I am coming back from home, I miss my home that I leave behind. Leaving something behind is always harder.

    Aathira, So that's where you were? On vacation.

    I know the feeling. Tears rolling down the cheeks as the flight takes off. :(

    Crying is not stupid per se..i think even at 50 you will cry for the same reason...and it is quite natural...

    I so identify with what you've said.. I just got back after a 7 week vacation and felt just as bad.. Leaving parents is getting more and more difficult with each passing year...

    That is tough! My parents just left Florida & I won't see them for about 5 months...my mom always starts tearing up & then gets me started.
