The Holidays and Family

During the holidays many people make their way "back home" to see their loved ones, the same ones who would miss them terribly if for whatever reason they were unable to make it back. But for me, I no longer have another "home" to speak off. And that makes me sad. I am lucky that my sister and my parents are close to me year round, but I have also always wished I had a larger family that cared about me. So I am jealous of those who do. Sure, I actually have a large extended family back in Mexico, but I don't know them and they don't know me. So they don't really count. They have their life, and I have mine.
