This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 06, 2008:
Weird, or perhaps not: the day you ask this is the very day the final paperwork arrived from my mother's estate.
She's been gone over four years now, with my father, brother, and oldest sister, all my grandparents and aunts and uncles, every one. Now the house I was born in, grew up in, and went back to every Christmas, is gone as well. I miss the feel of it, the smell of it, the return to childhood every time I stepped through that door.
It was hard, but I said goodbye. Home is where the heart is. I've got a sweet husband, three kids, and enough good fortune to keep me smiling... my heart's fine. Home's right here.
