One of my best friends this past year was a foreign exchange student from Norway, and in June, she went back after the program was up (she was here for an entire school year). Obviously, I missed her when she went back, but since then, I haven’t really felt it. We write letters to each other and e-mail every so often, but it isn’t the same. But today, I got a letter from her, and there was a Norwegian saying that she had translated in pencil for me, and I just burst out crying and started missing her so badly that it was almost a physical pain. It wasn’t the saying that got me, it was the fact that she had taken the time to translate it for me, and her letter itself was really sweet as well. I just really miss her. She really is an amazing person, and I really want to hang out with her again. I miss my sister across the sea.
