In fact, I have not been in the US for 15 months now and when I arrive I may not get all your pop culture references. I may not know all the American news. And I most certainly won't be able to catch up in just one day.
I can tell you lots of cool stories, maybe even in French. I can tell you about skiing in the Alps and adventures in the Lausanne metro. I can tell you about awesome iCafé nights and great conversations with people you've never met. My life has been a crazy wonderful adventure filled with good and bad things and I'm sorry we haven't had any shared experiences from these past 15 months. I can't just let it all go...
BUT, I'm aware that your life hasn't frozen either. You've gotten engaged, married, pregnant. You've had a great time on vacation or a horrible time at work. Your family is really struggling at the moment and you just need a break.
Maybe you want to hear about my life, maybe you don't, but I sure want to hear about yours! Please don't think that because I'm the one who left that I'm the only one with something to share. Tell me to shut up and listen if I don't. Tell me to hug you tight if you're hurting and tell me to share if you want to listen.
Maybe we could do something together, to once again share an experience, to unfreeze our lives and get reacquainted?
Do you want to build a snow man?
