Mexico, here I come!

Sacramento International Airport

Tears formed in my eyes as I hugged my father goodbye. A sense of lonliness set in. To gather myself required deep breaths and looking in the opposite direction. The realization of my departure finally hit me. While I am excited about the trip, it is always difficult saying goodbye to loved ones.

This trip will undoubtedly change my life. Only time will tell what changes will take place but my heart and mind are open to the possibilities. Mexico, the land of my grandparents, father, uncles, aunts, and cousins, here I come! I am headed back to the homeland.
