Missing Home

Recently for Viet Class our assignment was to write a letter home to our parents.  While I have having the time of my life and learning so many things along the way, everywhere and everything that I do, I wonder how it would be like if my parents were here. I wonder how their lives would have been here if they had been able to stay in Vietnam. While there is about 2 months left of the program there are days that I wish I was home already.  Being here for only such a short amount of time, I have already learned so much about my parents.

I remember an experience I had at Ha Long Bay. I was sitting at the dock of the boat reflecting about my time in Vietnam so far and I could help but think how was it that I be able to witness the beauty of Vietnam while my parents have not seen all that there is to Vietnam.  Is this really fair? While I continue on with the next two months, I'll keep my parents in mind with hope that we'll be able to return to Vietnam one day to experience this together.
