The thing that sucks about this lifestyle

So, it's another one of those holidays spent away from family - Thanksgiving. I mean, it's not like my family ever made a huge deal out of the day, or I ever really cared so much about the food or anything, or even like I felt a "need" to celebrate the day as an "American" who grew up with some sort of tradition. Instead it just reminded me how much I miss my family and partner. Last year my partner and I officially began dating on this day. Happy anniversary, my love. I wish you weren't 8,000 miles away.... and Happy (late) Thanksgiving to my family on the east coast... wish you weren't 3,000 miles away. :-( (story of my life...)
