Unfortunate Greetings

Have you ever wanted to travel to a place so badly that you prayed for it whenever you got the chance? For example, I always wanted to go to Germany. I’m the only one in my family that has never been and doesn’t speak the language. I used to pay at 11:11 and my birthdays to go to Germany. I wanted to experience what it is like to have grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Yes I do have my dad’s side of the family, but I find them to be very fake and I’ve noticed that they care more about my uncle’s family than my dad’s. They are never around and I’m perfectly fine with that. I wanted to fill what they have lacked to give me, with my mom’s side of the family in Germany.

Like I’ve said previously, my grandfather had died some weeks ago. This completely killed my mother’s spirit for a while. She is such a strong, tough loving person and seeing her cry really must mean she is so emotionally hurt. In such an unfortunate situation, it ended up becoming a good experience for me. After 10 years of begging to go to Germany, I finally get to in July. I’ve never been so excited than ever. I desperately need to experience another culture, a family, and I need to be put out of my comfort zone. I know that I will be an outcast since most of my German family barely speaks English, but language can’t define love.
