In a little over two months I will be leaving for Switzerland. I have not been back to visit in over six years; I am anxious about the trip. Being back in the place that holds so many memories of my childhood will be like stepping into an old photograph. Right now I have images of what I remember in my mind, but I am beginning to forget a lot of what is now one of my new homes. I am exicted to start building relationships with my family again, some for the first time. Mostly I can not wait to spend time with my mom; she has worked so hard in the past year to ensure that we would be together this holiday season. She has given up so much for me, and now a year's worth of waiting will be over in two months!
