multiple layers

There’s always multiple layers of feelings when I leave Virginia. There’s layers of sadness as I hear my dad whistling during my last day which has always been an indicator to me that he’s stressing a bit…or getting that extra tight hug from my sister as I leave the house…or seeing my mom throw that last goodbye kiss as I leave the driveway…

Yet, I’m filled with gratitude that I had the opportunity for another quality week with all of them.

And on top of all of those layers of emotions, a huge layer of excitement to be back in MY city.

NYC, I’m home!
