In globaloramas previous post he asked : “Why do I miss Jordan?”. This made me think. Really think, WHY do I miss Jordan?
Family? To state the obvious. Of course family is the number one reason , specifically my mom, I miss her dearly.
Friends? They are scattered all over the place, I only have 2 friends left in Amman and one of them is moving to the
US next month (which is exciting because she will be closer to me now).
Food? Well yeah but there’s everything here now. Granted, not as good but never the less available.
I think :
It could be a very nice trip to Aqaba you took with your friends and family that makes you miss Jordan.
It could be driving around in Amman with no direction with a bunch of friends just joking around and listening to music, or in our case, singing (or more like shouting) along with the car tape deck (yeah, tapes, remember those).
Experiencing firsts, first time you drive, first time you swim, first time you go to University, first time you cross the street by yourself. Getting my first job and wasting the first salary on things I can’t even remember.
I don’t know, it’s moments or hours that are etched in your memory, happy moments that you hold on to dearly forever.
Asking why you miss Jordan is like asking the question “Why do you love someone?” Impossible to answer!
