Homesick for a past "home"...

A and I used to live in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is a city that holds lots of great memories for me: good friends, great lifestyle, good lab, our first child, getting married, finding out we were going to have baby #2... anyway, the list continues...
Although we now live in the city that I grew up in (actually, our house is about 20 minutes away from where I lived for most of my life), it is funny how I feel homesick for Copenhagen. While I was finishing my PhD, I had to return often (which I really liked). One time I had a very strange experience: it was about the same time of the year that we had left and I kept seeing our "ghosts" there. It was almost like there was another reality where we had stayed. I actually checked my watch a few times, catching myself thinking that I should be picking Alexander from vuggestuen soon. I found myself drawn to places that we used to frequent. It was a bit strange- maybe it was jetlag ;)
Anyway, I am feeling a bit "homesick" again lately. Maybe I need a fresh start...
