longing

My sister is in labor now…as much as I look forward to my lil niece or nephew… I’m anxious and worried. She got admitted to the hospital last night and ever since then I’ve been impatient. It’s not so much about she being in labor but it’s about not being with there when she needs me the most

At times such as this, it makes me wonder if there is any point in staying so far away from home, from loved ones. If only I was there…I could have rubbed away the sweat from her forehead and held her through this moment. I could have even watched her smile as she held her baby for the first time.
