Comments on: Missing that place http://stepherz.com/2007/09/04/missing-that-place/ “In the South, perhaps more than any other region, we go back to our home in dreams and memories, hoping it remains what it was on a lazy, still summer’s day twenty years ago.”—-Willie Morris Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:17:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Gina http://stepherz.com/2007/09/04/missing-that-place/#comment-3839 Gina Mon, 10 Sep 2007 05:40:41 +0000 http://stepherz.com/2007/09/04/missing-that-place/#comment-3839 Your sister-in-law, Michelle, looks like your mom! Sorry you are homesick. I just got tickets to go back to Indiana for Christmas. I am so excited to be with my family ON a holiday after 10 years! Your sister-in-law, Michelle, looks like your mom!

It was the first house S.B. and I shared together so we basically startd our lives together there. It was a special place, too, remote in the mountains and for six years we lived like we were at permanent summer camp. I still tear up when I think of it. Looking at the old photos – fuggedabout it. I'm a gonner. I don't think I'll ever feel such a connection to place. And the older we get, the more of our personal histories we come to appreciate. It can be painful, but it's a good thing.

It's so much easier to just not look. I don't know if I'm making sense, but what I'm trying to say is that I understand.

I know for certain I never miss this house when I'm away... I just miss the allowance it gives to walk about in your underoos. I do miss my hubby and family when they are away though, 5 or 6 hours after they leave it starts and lasts and lasts and lasts... I don’t know- I’ve never actually missed my old hometown.

I know that I won't ever go "back home" to live, but it doesn't mean I don't miss it, and the people there, a little every day. ((hugs)) I understand.

Hey, was your father ever charged with felony sideburns? My wife goes back to the States every two years to visit family, so you should be able to make it back to your home fairly regularly.
