My Dad is In China
Hello Internet,
Last night I called my dad, who's working in Shanghai at the moment. It sucks that I haven't seen him in so long. Actually, my original impression of the situation was that this set up would be temporary, that my mom and sister would stay in Michigan while my dad returned home frequently from work.
Last night when I called, he said he really misses me and thinks about me. That never happens. And when I listened, I thought I heard his voice crack. And it made my heart crack.
I asked him when he'll be back. He said, well, Sherry and your mother are coming this summer to visit. I'll probably come back during the holidays.
And then it hit me how much this really sucks. I can't believe it took me this long.
