Please come home. Chicago is cold and well, up north. Which means you are far away from the place where many a songwriter have made their homage to dance halls, rolling plains, and steers with horns longer than a semi truck.
Just a few of the songs you should listen to if you need a good reminder of your roots: Amarillo By Morning- George Strait; If You're Gonna Play n Texas, You've Gotta Have a Fiddle and a Band- Alabama; La Grange- ZZ Top; Texas Our Texas- State Song, San Antonio Rose- Willie Nelson; Luckenbach, Texas- Waylon Jennings, All My Exes Live in Texas- George Strait; Blame it on Texas- Mark Chestnut; The Bluest Eyes in Texas- Restless Heart; Texas (When I Die)- Tanya Tucker; Texas Tornado- Tracy Lawrence... just to name a few. How many songs are there about Chicago? Not as many I assure you.
Your niece and nephew have forgotten what you look like. I'm getting tired of blowing up our inflatable "Aunt Yeshey."
Remember the good old days when you weren't off in some crazy town where the politics are crooked and the Mexican food sub-par?
Think of all the sleepovers we could have if you came back and lived a mere 2 1/2 hours away.
We'll be here waiting for you when you realize that "there's no place like home." Love, Big Sis.
