My family moved a lot when I was growing up (9 times before I was 18). That has always left me asking the same question, what is home? To put it mildly, I had a difficult relationship with my parents and siblings. My wife and I have lived in the same place now for 20 years. Our kids have only known one home. But I’m itching for change.
Thanks for a beautiful essay and some inspiration for my own journey and work!
I feel you on this. Settling in the middle of our lives was good for the family; I wanted them to have a different experience. But now, we have itchy feet and that’s good too.

This is a question that elicits a thousand more, like the other question we all ask at least once in our life: "Who am I?"
Right? Absolutely
Home to me is where I feel at peace welcomed and loved.
Perfect
Such a beautiful piece!
That’s the bottom line!
