Missing Family, Missing Ohio

Having a baby changes everything, they said. And damn, they were right. Been thinking more and more lately about the possibility of moving back to the East Coast.

Seeing my mom so often and recently visiting has me realizing how much my perspective has changed. Also, so much has changed since we moved in 2018. Two key things: my dad dying and my baby being born.

I used to hold a lot of resentment towards Ohio because of my father but now he’s gone and…I miss it.
