It's been almost nine years since
I've been home, so long that I'd given up on going back. I cried a little
when I submitted my application for my third passport, I've had a U.S.passport
for more than half my life now, I feel old. I cried a little more
when I received it in the mail two weeks later - the response time was fast,
guess it helps that I've had one before and never been in trouble? But
when we actually sat down, talked about flights and purchased the tickets?
Yeah...I had virtually no reaction, until today, two days later, it's
finally setting in. I'm going home!
