My 5 siblings began to peel-away from the fractured 'nest' at the age of 14.My younger Sister and I have a Virtual relationship on FaceBook.We both love to write and dream of things being different.if we dream it why can't we do it?I live in California, she is in Connecticut.She will NOT fly... there are other needles in the haystack of our Family herstory/history.... this word, saudade, I have loved it a long time... (a Portuguese and Galician word that has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic...Saudade, in Portuguese history and culture, a longing for something, someone whom one has lost faraway.
