My mum flies out this afternoon to be with her family. My dad and brother go on Wednesday. I'm not going - maybe I'll regret it later. I haven't seen her since I was about 15 or so, and since then we've only had sporadic email and phone contact. She was actually quite good with a computer, considering she grew up in a world without telephones, airplanes, or televisions, or computers. I didn't think I'd be that sad, but it is, after all, family. Today is hard day.
