Who comes up with that?<BR/><BR/>My oldest son (the sensitive one) used to have nightmares (still does actually) about some little creatures with long pointy noses. He calls them "moosey-boos." I have no idea why. He also had night terrors when he was young. And anxiety attacks. I think he just had thoughts that were too big for his little maturity level.cathouse terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547258612468286876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-25843990319247969492007-06-17T16:45:00.000+02:002007-06-17T16:45:00.000+02:00Beautiful post.

At Christmas and Easter there is always the big fuss of the holidays, kids making decorations and projects at school, parties, etc. But especially as an ex-pat the holidays that are not really given attention (if even acknowledged) are the hardest (Thanksgiving, July 4th, Halloween). And then come the special ones that we celebrate just in the family - Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays, anniversaries. These are the ones that somehow sneak up on us and we suddenly realise just how important they are. A wave of homesickness washes over you, and you catch your breath, fight back the tears and keep yourself going. Though I'd read these posts before, seeing them again made me miss my Dad and think of similar memories I have of him. You made me cry (again) Jenn, but that's okay. Tears remind us of the depth of our feelings. Thanks for sharing.
