There are some people who would not like to hear me say this... but going to the States is not going home. I love people in the States. I love Oregon. I miss the Pacific Ocean. I miss Stumptown coffee. I miss family and friends all across the states... but the states does not feel like home. Europe feels like home. Home in the way that you know you belong there. I know I belong here.
But that aside, I am looking forward to seeing some of you dear people soon! Honestly!
Home is where you hang your hat, they say. Last summer we went back to Seattle for a visit. We drove by houses we had lived in. None of them looked like I expected them to. I was looking forward to getting home. That is New York.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for a place to belong. They say it takes three years to establish community. I have found that to be true. Love you Melissa Dad
