Even knowing you had to talk loud over the window ac unit and the blaring TV in my childhood home.<br /><br />Nearly 10 years ago, I moved back to my home town, redefined myself, and since then my parents have passed, the house was sold, but I live across the street from it now. I see "home" every day although it belongs to other people, but I get a good feeling from knowing my daughter is developing her own ties of "home" in the same little town I grew up in, and will feel that when she comes home years from now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-65640992343438190372009-12-28T12:58:44.726-07:002009-12-28T12:58:44.726-07:00It sounds like you have a lovely, wonderful family...It sounds like you have a lovely, wonderful family.
