• Coming Home

  • Where is home?  Is it a town you feel a kinship with?  Is it a house you beautify and call your own?  Or is it a person you can let your guard down with, just be you and still be loved and accepted in spite of yourself.  After revisiting some childhood haunts (and seeing that for one of them, time had stood still) and after having an emotional breakdown and sobbing to a friend that I’m tired of being strong and just want to come home, I realized that I don’t know the answer.  I get the feeling that I’m playing 20 questions: is it a person, place or thing?  Hopefully I’ll figure out the answer before my 20 questions are up!
