POR AMOR AL ARTE

almost six months in chile now.  a true and challenging experience to say the least and a growing one.  behind i have left my family and home, my plants and environs which ever grieve me. my son has found new love with brianne and my daughter, who i consider my best friend, continues her own quest for happiness.

 i have missed hikes and sunday morning breakfast, pit stops to the mexican restaurant where we often sit down for an hour or two just to chat and giggle, i have missed out on their stories, their languange, their music, their ups and downs, their love.

now my dilemma.  having fallen in love with chile once again and surrounded by the most wonderful group of friends, i debate.  should i or shouldn't i return?  if i stay i will be missing out on so much more of their futures.  i return i will confined to my square footage and an empty nest syndrome that is becoming increasingly less healthy.  what a difficult decision.
