Our Dear Anne is very homesick. As I imagine anyone that is 17 and away from home and family would be. Not just away for a week but the whole school year and so far from home in a land where there native tongue is only somewhat familiar. I imagine this is how my great grandmother felt when she came to America at this age and only able to speak Swedish. I feel bad for her and am trying to help keep her time active. The girls came up with the plan of Chuck E Cheese and either the water park or the beach. Anne chose the beach and was unsure about our describing Chuck E Cheese's. I can imagine that place in her mind. Games, prizes, food........a singing rat?
So we kept her busy today. She is still a bit jet lagged and tired but seemed to enjoy the day. We still had some shoulder crying moments. But I expect those will continue for a bit and will be shared equally with Adrienn in the next few days.
