Just Call Me Rose

I have been away from home for over 16 years. At some point, when I’ve lived longer away from home, than lived “at” home, I wonder if it would ever change the way I feel it. I don’t think it ever will change. What does home feel like? For me it’s that place where you can just take off your shoes, kick back and relax. It’s where jokes are funnier…because they are said in your own language and you’d never miss the punch line. You will always be understood and words would always flow naturally, the way they should. Food will ALWAYS be appetizing. It is also a place of love, where family and close friends are just in arm’s reach.  Two seasons, wet or dry. Humid, all the time. Watching the sun rise…or the sun set? Everyday.

I will be home soon and I’m happy for that.
