It is awkward at best to be a tourist in the place you grew up in. <br /><br />I have to tell you I have pretty much given up on publishing anything outside of blogging or self-publishing. And the only reason I will self publish is so that my children can some day read what I've written and understand where I came from and why I am the way I am.Timehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07838683246636045823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-61136461479639341272009-05-27T20:03:13.144-07:002009-05-27T20:03:13.144-07:00Wow! You captured me with this one. This should be published. The photo you included may be blurry, but the word-picture you created of your family has never been clearer. <br /><br />I can really relate to this... on so many levels. But, you know that.Naughti Biscottihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11954505278010003963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861874.post-1689210841804001832009-05-25T15:15:51.882-07:002009-05-25T15:15:51.882-07:00Thanks Angel,<br />It is good to hear from you.

I understand your worry and anxiety for your Mother but maybe she really is ok with her lot in life.<br /><br />I was so relieved for you when you got back on that plane.Romany Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14037125368174431489noreply@blogger.com
