The feeling of being oceans away from your loved ones is totally AWFUL :( I still remember the pain I experienced the moment I left my family in the airport. Mom burst into tears while asking me, "Sonia Poriya? Poriya?" Brothers held me closely in their arms. Dad's face turned pale. And my heart did beat even faster as if I just got down from the exhilarating roller coaster. Very nervous & anxious ! And now, I just can't believe that It has been already four months since I left em' ! Time flies away very fast.
