Day 6!

Today I rested. Just rested.

Today I had a nice long shower, where I could wash my hair. That's one thing I haven't done in a week, because the shower at my room is broken.

Today I spent some quality time with the Wittenberg's. Emma, the youngest, had wanted to go to the One Direction movie with her friends. Her  parents wanted there to be a grown-up with them, but the dad would be really happy not to go - so I was sent as the chaperone ;) We had good fun, and it was a good thing I wasn't an addicted fan, because that just meant there was someone to hold the popcorn still, when the other two girls freaked out/cried/had their own hyper moment.
Are you jealous Carla? Is it out in England too?

Back home I had a good homemade American burger. Sarah (the 2nd child), Susan and I played a card game called phase 10. It took hours, and we talked and laughed our way through it, it was great fun. .. and I almost won :p

Today I had good company and I was in a house full of people, like I'm used to.

Today I really felt at home. So much that I don't really feel like going back to Manhattan.
But I know why - when I return to Manhattan, I'll return to a single room, with only me for company.

But I need to get back. I need to know what is my home.
And no matter how much I'd like it, this is not my home.
This is a place I feel warm and safe.

My home is where I planned to settle, and my room is waiting for me on 13th street!

I guess it's the feeling of being a part of a family, I've needed.
To always have the company and always feel the love.
The feeling of being a piece of a bigger puzzle that only fits perfectly when all the pieces were present.
I wonder if all 6 of you feel that too?

I don't really know where I'm going with this, there's no message in it. But, I miss you. So, no message - but a great deal of love.

There isn't so much of a whole through my chest, because I've had the joy to fill it up with so much.

But at some point in the future, maybe during Christmas, I know this emptiness will be hard to fill out.

Lots of love from the States. X
