I am depressed.
Utterly and irrevocably inconsolable.
I've been crying all morning and will continue to do so, off and on, for goodness knows how long.
You see...I had to drop my brother, sister-in-law, and niece off at the airport this morning, and it was heartbreaking.
My tears started flowing before we even left their house, and they continually streamed until several minutes after I dropped them off.
I cried not because I was sad to see them go...and not because I was worried about their flight...and not because it's hard to say goodbye.
No, no...
I cried because they are going on an incredibly grand adventure on one of the most beautiful places on Earth, a place that I love more than my own hometown, a place that makes my heart swell every time I think of it.
I cried because I was not going with them.

My 2nd home...and my family left without me.
It's pure devastation.
The end of the world.
And my heart is splattered on the floor.
Scotland means so much more to me than beautiful countryside, pints in the pubs, and lambing in progress. It's like a completely different world over there, a trip to Heaven, a magical re-connection to a people and a time that flourished long, long ago.
It's princesses and fairytales, knights in shining armor, and mystical creatures soaring the skies.
It's moments of true passion, memories in the making, and a life changing event that is recreated each and every time you step foot on its soil.
Scotland means the world to me...and I feel like I lost it today.
I could've easily gone...yes...and I think that's what makes it so hard.
I could have completely disregarded 
Nom. Nom.
But, because I've been 
Getting to know you...
Have you ever been overseas?
What was your favorite family vacation?
Have you made a responsible decision lately?
