I've been away for three months and have finally returned home. I went home for the last time on New Year's Eve. Fieldwork, relief goods operations, birthday celebrations, despedida party for one of my friends, and other stuff kept me quite busy these past three months. In addition, there was a flu outbreak in the city that lasted until January. These are the reasons why I haven't been able to visit my family as frequently as I would want. I got the opportunity to return home, and I seized it. My heart is overjoyed to have found serenity and relaxation after all of the struggles I've faced in recent months. I know that I needed this time off to re-energize and remind myself that my family is always there to support me in everything that I do.
