The time has come to sell a house we have in Indiana, my birthplace. The house was my home from the time I was 10 years old. It is the place we held our wedding reception. Just a small cape cod style house, nothing much as the world sees it, but the fixed point in my memory–the place to which I took my children to visit their grandparents, the place I went to “get my bearings” during turmoil. It’s been a rental for several years, and — it isn’t what it used to be. I do hope we can recover something of our investment.

Still looks like home to me…
“Home is where the heart is” and our hearts certainly hold a place for our early homes, but a house is not quite a home. This is a theme worth exploring.
