Having my mother here right now makes this episode hit a little differently.
The reality of my choices and decisions are consistently confronting me, as I am having to show my mother what I have built for myself far from the nest she provided for me as a child.
I am having to say out loud what the driving forces were and are for my decisions. Explain my reasons for staying because ofcourse mother would rather I come home and we all enjoy the fruit of my labour and share her senior year together (that is a post of its own- the aging element of the parents and family members we leave behind).
Heimweh - german for homesickness. Direct translation is home hurts. I personally like the german word better as it hits the heart of the matter without too much explanation.
