A friend used this term recently and I believe that is what I am. I miss MY blood family.

It's just DH and I...and doggies and kitty of course. But the closer it gets to Autumn, Harvest, holiday times, it hits us hard. Sadly we cannot afford to visit anyone and no one comes here.

I found it interesting that DH misses his brothers MORE than he longs to see his kids. Maybe that comes with divorce. Although his kids love him (and with the new grandbaby #2 coming, one would think.....), I guess it's the mother in the family who feels differently.

But I just needed to WHINE about missing my family so much I could bawl my eyes out. And my mommy.......I miss her so much. She's gone almost 32 years now but I sure could crawl up onto her lap and just sob.
