The Meaning of Home

I am going to move out. Eventually. I am going to move out and find a way. A way in the country. Hopefully a way where I have a chihuahua and chickens and plants. I am moved out but not gone. I am moved out but I will not stay away. I can’t. We are family. My future house will welcome those that are turned away. I will give so others can have. I will take in children and care for them, so they can care for others in their turn. But for now I am a child. A child that is lucky to be free. I have a home, and a family. Two families. Connected. Home is connected. Home goes a long way back. Home is recorded in history. Different nations had different homes. The people respected their homes. Respect. You must respect your home. You must respect the people in your house or all you will call it is a house, build a home.
