Sometimes, you choose your family

ME QUIERO IR A MI CASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

i'm having a very homesick day.

talked to my cousin today.
i miss her...
i do miss her.
she's one of my best friends.
actually, she's my all-my-life-friend.
we've known each other since we're 12, so it's been like we've known each other for 18 years. wow. unbelievable.

Gaby and I met in high school and we have been friends since 1990.
We were roommates in 1992.
She dated my cousin for a while and because my real female cousin is 11 years older than me, we both decided to become 'cousins'.
My cousin and her broke up and they ended up marrying other people. Gaby and I kept in touch because I met her before they got togheter, and we always referred to each other as cousins. Even Gaby's husband now accepts the fact that i'm HER cousin! :)
I have 9 cousins: only 1 is female. And she's 41... so Gaby (who's also 29) became my cousin and her family became my family. I talk to them the same way I talk to my cousins and my aunts and uncles.
Gaby is the link to my past life (lol) and i love her very much. it's the only ONE friend i still cherish from HS, and she's been part of my life since we met... 17 years ago.

I'M HOMESICK.
i want to go home.
