“I’ve never been more homesick than now”

Everyone hates to be sick. I think that might just be an understatement. What sucks even more is not having your parents there to take care of you. Those are the moments when I get homesick. 


I never got homesick when I moved to college. I enjoyed being all on my own. I think that might also be because I am an only child and for once I didn’t have my parents always down my back. However, when I first got sick and wasn’t at home I hated it, even though my roommate and boyfriend and sorority sisters were there, it still wasn’t the same. 

This morning I woke up sick as a dog, with nausea and a sore throat. I felt horrible. I tried to go to class but couldn’t even stand to get ready so I just went back to bed. I felt the same way all day long. Though I did go to Target and Kroger with Phil and got some medicine, but it was so hard to get out and walk around. Phil was really sweet, he made me chicken noodle soup and took me to dinner, too. So thanks honey for at least doing that!

It’s just so hard not having my mom and dad constantly pouring me ginger ale or bringing me soup and giving me medicine, ya know all the sick child spoiled stuff. Now I am homesick… I wish I were home :(  Instead I am struggling to get up and go to class and start studying for finals. 

The title is from the song “Homesick” by MercyMe. It’s like you wanting to be in Heaven (AKA HOME) away from all sickness and pain and where you are completely taken care of. Just like being at college and wanting to be home where mommy and daddy can take care of you…

keep singing (even if you have no voice like me…)
