*takes the hugs and gives some more*

Thank you, honey. I actually am going to go back on Christmas. I'm staying three days. I've already told my brother that if it's the same way this time, it'll probably be the last time - I just can't keep doing it. Besides, I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times more - that's not my home anymore. Chicago is my home now, and it's my life, and I like it. So I guess we'll see how it goes.

Thank you, though. *snuggles*
