Turns out you can, indeed, go home. Expect things to have changed, expect to discover new delights. Expect to laugh and cry. Hug your loved ones. And plan to return.
Thanks, Mom, for sharing your gifts as always: music, food, wisdom and stories. 
Thanks, Sarah, for offering me your perfectly comfortable home, your gracious listening ears, more food, and transportation. And for sharing Stanley. 
Thanks, Dharam, for sharing your presence, your insights, your music, and your fabulous hugs. And more food.

Thanks, David and Sarah, for sharing your time, your vulnerability, your smiles, your love. And food.
Thanks, Cristina, Guru & Amrit for showing up with youth and energy and honesty. And even more food. My hope for the future is greatly increased the more I get to know you.
And thanks, Val and Mike, for your hospitality, wisdom, and stories. Including great food and lots of wine!
I love having you all in my life!
Going home isn’t easy for some. When I come home to family, it can be a slugfest…but in the most delightful way.
I am truly fortunate.
