The Big Three-O

In a few weeks, I will be leaving my twenties. And as I approach that day, I find myself getting more and more depressed, not because I’m getting old, but because I don’t know how I will be celebrating it without the rest of my family and friends.

I say “the rest” because I have my family here in tact – my husband and my son – and that in and of itself does make this birthday special, and I am grateful. But, growing up surrounded by parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and countless friends, I feel like I should be celebrating with them, too. How am I to do that if they are all NOT around?

That 30th birthday is supposedly a big deal, but I guess with my situation right now, it’s just going to be one of those birthdays.

Ewan ko ba. I guess it’s just homesickness striking again. With a vengeance.
