Homesick

Having been out of Shanghai for near a week, now I'm at Xiamen airport. I will fly back to Shanghai late tonight, wondering if my dear Mr. Cat and the flowers "forgot me not"(see below) I bought before leaving are still fine at home?

 

Well, "homesick" is not a bad "sickness" but a deep feeling of missing the home-like peace at heart. My "home" could locate anywhere geographically as long as it's together with true love and mental freedom - what else can be missed to be sick?

I love the feeling of "homesick".
