I'll have to ask my kids when I see them next what they think about this subject.<br /><br />When married the first time, we lived in Kokomo, 4 places around Detroit and then out in the country around Warsaw. Fort Wayne for them was where their grandparents lived.<br /><br />This summer when I traveled to Maine I saw my Aunt, Uncle and a cousin whom I had not seen in ten years and also visited the restaurant that my grandparents started that we use to visit when I was a kid. That felt "Home-ish" too.ScLoHo (Scott Howard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06845134204599222869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10966400.post-12265121558546504802009-08-15T18:49:53.300-04:002009-08-15T18:49:53.300-04:00I think the definition changes for different peopl...I think the definition changes for different people and different moments. For example, my daughter now lives in Florida, but she refers to Indiana as 'home' ("I can't wait to come home for a visit.") To her, I think the 'big' "home" is where I am. When she returns to FL from her visits she says "made it home ok" but it's the 'small' "home" - if that makes sense.<br /><br />My son, Todd, is very independent and to him, "home" is where ever he is living at the time. He seldom, if ever, refers to my house as "home" - to him, it's "your place" (I'll be at your place this weekend.")<br /><br />For me, home is an emotional container. It's the house I live in now, it's the house I grew up in on Arcadia Court, it's the house my aunt and uncle who raised me as kid lived in in South Carolina.<br /><br />Maybe it is true what that old saying references, 'home is where the heart lives.'Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481259409101685854noreply@blogger.com
