Home

After moving to Idaho I have learned the truth in the generic phrase, "Home is where the heart is." It really is. We just returned from a short visit to Oklahoma to visit my family. It is always refreshing to return to my roots and be reminded of my childhood and to go "home". We recently went back to Utah for a few days to visit my family and that also was accompanied by those tender feelings of going "home". So how is it that both places can be so equally comforting to go home to? I can't help but wonder in the midst of my loneliness here in Idaho if this place will ever welcome me with the same familiarity and warmth as my childhood home and the home that I figured out who I was and who I wanted to become. I like to believe that it will because this is where I will build my family and my heart will always be with them and the memories we create. Just like it will always be at Ganny's house and Jerry's farm. And just like it will always be on 1223 and just off of Orchard Drive. Because those are the places that are filled with the people I love the most.
