I know that things can really get rough,
When you go it alone...Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical,As this little home.-Simple Song by The Shins
Steven (the baby), Rachel (the country girl), Joe (the fireman), Laura (the hippy), Isabelle (the renaissance woman), Don (the oldest).
I've moved about a million times in my life.
So, when I think of home it's not one particular place. Home. It's that feeling that you can just be you. No inhibitions.
It's the feeling I get when we are all together. I mean all of us. We tease and laugh and argue.
But it's home.
It was always crazy. Never alone; in a good way. You always had a friend. And someone to defend you.
Someone to borrow stuff from.
I want to have 6 kids because of them. I want my kids to have what I had.
So Glad I Never Had to Go It Alone.
I feel the same way, home is where your heart is and our family really has my heart! I love you, and this post.
