Discovering An Absence

I have this huge desire/need to connect with my "family" right now - especially with my family of origin. I'm not sure why or where this is coming from but as the day has progressed this need for connection has only increased. I have facebook(ed) several of my family members just to say a quick 'Hi, I'm thinking about you' but that hasn't seemed to alleviate the need at all ... if anything it has only brought it(the need) all the more into my awareness(consciousness). 

While driving to get myShelby from school I even had thoughts of bringing her home and then heading to the airport where I could catch some kind of flight West to spend the weekend with my family. 

Do I miss them? I doubt it ... 

... but I can't explain these feelings either.
