bye bye miss american pie

well, time to bid yet another country adieu. we had made our home here, but now we've decided to move back to India, for better or worse. i want to work now, and it just won't happen here without a lot of struggle. and while i'm not averse to that, i just don't see the need for it. life's good back home too. we can all get jobs, my son can get the best schooling money can buy, and we can have an enabled lifestyle, as opposed to struggling to make ends meet here. it will take us a decade to build the lifestyle here that we can already have in india. and for our son, those ten years would be crucial. so well, these are the reasons, and i hope i remember them over the decades as i second-guess this momentous decision a million times. :)
it's been a wrench to uproot ourselves from here, because even though we never planned to live all our lives here, yet we'd thought we'd be here longer. we had settled in, bought everything, and just started to save. but the process of selling our things has been a healing one, bringing goodbyes and natural endings to illogical attachments to material things.
i hope we're doing the right thing! looking forward to starting life afresh back HOME!!! :)
