by hand in downtown . Almost exactly what I’ve always hoped my life would be. I am so grateful to be where I am doing what I’m doing. Today is 10 months with the boy, and I’m for that too. I wish I could bring all those I love and miss here with me, but something restless inside is finally growing calm, and the and clear calm I’m starting to know is worth the homesickness. I didn’t realize the parts of me that were unhappy until they disappeared.
