The thing to remember is that this isn't permanent. Chances are you're not gonna be here forever-- no one is. And when you go back, it's just like when you left. You might not even remember you left. And you won't have missed anything at all.
[Such a thought is upsetting-- heartwrenching even, to her-- but in AJ's case, she figures it's a comfort.]
I know how... awful it is to miss your family. Believe me.
But they'll still be there when you get home. Whenever that happens.
