I work on a cruise ship. I am a slave to the Captain. Literally.. I am his secretary. It works. I get to wear a sexy white uniform...

But today I find myself wanting to go home so badly. I want to hold my nephew, tease him, kiss him. To have him say “auntie stop” but I know that he still wants me to tickle him because as soon as I stop he would back to me for more. I want to be frustrated by my family, be annoyed by the poor decisions my little sister repeatedly makes but is unwilling to see. Hate that my older sister has sacrificed part of her for some one who would never do the same. Wish that my twin could find some one who sees the beauty that I see in her. Learn from the strong woman that my dad was so lucky to find. Make fun of my dads gray hair as he turns 50, tease him that I am responsible for at least 20% of them. Eager to get to know my brother who has been a stranger to me for so many years. I want to hold my best friend when she hurts, know that other friends my have grown apart but still have the friendship that brought us together so many years ago. I am a 26 year old woman who wants to lay my head on my moms lap and have her scratch my back and tell me it will be okay. As my other mom tells me that tomorrow is a new day that will bring new challenges, new opportunities and new moments that will take our breath away. And I realize Dorothy was right “There is no place like home”
