This made my heart sigh in a way I really needed tonight. Home is such a felt place and I hope and pray that I am cultivating that felt place for my kids as well.
Thank you, Shawn, for writing. As always, the imagery and emotion are palpable and touch me deeply with both wonder--that there are families like yours--and wistfulness--that there are so few. I hope you'll get these pieces together and publish so I can reach for them in one volume. In answer to your question: I feel like I'm home when I'm curled on the couch with tea and a book, the cat and dog lie sweetly content, and the plants are lush and thriving.

That "oh good, then we'll all be together again" feeling of deep relief and safety...oh gosh, felt that in my soul when I read it ❤️
