Sometimes we leave home in the mornings, in the evenings, or for much longer. But we always come back. Home becomes wish when we move, when the new place isn’t the same. Everything might be different: the sounds, the smell, the people, the weather. But home isn’t just a place. We carry home in our hearts, and it can grow and change as we do in our lives.
