Two of my (Ethiopian) coworkers (1 of 2): Homesickness.

The other week, my one (Ethiopian) coworker who wears a veil was saying that she hadn't been sleeping well, since she missed her mother so much.

They talk on the phone and over the net, but it's been 2 years, and neither has the money to go and see the other.

Her husband has a lot of family here, though, like thirty-to-forty friends-and-family's worth at holiday events, she was saying, and she said that they easily fill a whole apartment with people when it comes to the holidays.
