Hi, Asha, is your mother feeling any better?
No, I'm afraid not. She's very homesick. She misses her family and friends back in India.
Do you think she will ever move back to India?
I'm not sure. It's very difficult for her, because my father and my sisters all live here in Florida. So she doesn't want to leave us.
Does she ever go to visit her family in India?
She goes back once a year to visit her family and old friends. But, when she's in India, she misses her family in the United States.
It must be very hard for her to always be torn between 2 places.
Yes, it is. And she's always telling us not to forget our Indian culture. So next year, my sisters and I are planning on traveling to India with her for a few months, so that we can all experience the culture together.
