I miss my Lily

I don't miss my recent romantic relationship as much as I miss my niece. We have had vague indications that she may come to visit one day soon, but nothing definite. And as much as I hate waiting on others, I still feel hesitant about making any binding weekend plans for the next several weeks just in case I get the call to go Home. With my luck, they'll visit while I'm in Dallas, or throwing a party for 50 people or something.

And while I can't wait to see her, I know that she's grown up quite a bit in the year+ since I last saw her, and she probably won't remember me and we'll spend most of the visit just trying to make her feel comfortable, and then it'll be time for her to go just as it's finally getting good. Still, it would be nice.
