"Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave,
and grow old wanting to get back to."

"The ache for home lives in all of us,
the safe place where we can go as we are
and not be questioned."
-- Maya Angelou
Sometimes I feel so worn out, rusted, old, damaged, ripped, torn, useless and unattractive that I think I must be unlovable, un-wantable.
And then I come home.
I have a good home.
There are people here who love me, in spite of all my wear and tear, in spite of all my damage, in spite of all my flaws.
When I can't see any good reason why anyone would want to keep me around, the patient, tender, kind -- did I already mention patient? -- people in my home somehow do.
It's a good thing.
Without them and their love, I don't know where I'd be.
