Why must all good things come to an end?

I know I said that I would be writing mostly about my excursions and culinary adventures in NYC, but ironically I've been out of town the best two weekends. This weekend I hopped on a plane to Sarasota, Florida to celebrate my amazing Mom's 56th birthday. She let me think that I was surprising her, but in reality she secretly knew about my plans for the past few weeks. Thanks a lot Dad! This weekend has been nothing short of incredible and I'm so sad to see it coming to a close. As much as I am enjoying my time in New York, I can't help but feel a little confused every time I venture south to be with my family.
