Flights were too expensive to go home this year. Mom sent some homemade sausages and dried goods. The package took a month and arrived crushed. As I picked up the broken pieces of sausage, trying to piece them together, I couldn't stop crying. We pretend to be tough in the big city, but only the taste of home breaks down our defenses. Tonight's fried rice was salty from tears, but sweet from love. #Homesickness #LongDistance #FamilyLove #CarePackage
