This is me…

My daughter, Charlie, sent the below picture to me today with a simple text: This is you.

She is right about this. Come home seems to be my answer for most everything. (Especially for her since she lives 1,000 miles away from me.) I just love my kids so much. Sometimes I feel so helpless when my desire is to be helpful. So just come home…

But realistically, that’s not how life works. At least not in a rational world. Kids leave and they learn to live life along the way just as I had to. But home was wherever my mom was. Whether she was in North Carolina, Maryland, or a tiny town called Roachdale…where she was…that was home to me.

I am far from perfect and our home life was often difficult at times. But home will always be wherever I am. And when life throws that aging curveball at me and I no longer have much else to offer, home will be wrapped in my arms.

That’s where it all began.
