Just this past holiday season I had an epiphany ( of sorts ) about home and its meaning in the real world. You see, I have not been home , or at least to where my family lives in over 4 years. No we did not have a great falling out or bad parting , circumstances have just been such that I have not been able to go. That is a price you pay when you end up over 3000 miles from where your family is . But I digress. Back to the epiphany . It was after P and I had picked out our tree at Home Depot . P was taking the tree back to our house and I was off to buy more decorations , when suddenly this overwelming feeling of meloncholy seeped over me ( perhaps it was the sappy christmas music , or buying a tree in 80 degree weather , who knows) but I NEEDED to talk to my mom.
I called her and we talked about a million things then I just started balling like a school girl . I whined for awhile about how much I missed Alabama ( I know, what was I thinking) and how I wished I could be with them, the conversation ended with a promise to call on christmas day and I hung up. My thoughts were border line obsessive about going home , I wanted , no needed to go home . These were my thoughts up until the time I pulled into my driveway . There I saw P standing on the lawn , throwing Lola's frisbee for her . At the sound of my car Lola stopped chasing the frisbee and ran toward my car, P smiled and waved and that was when the epiphany happened . I didn't need to go anywhere I was already Home.

Hi, This is totally unrelated to your post, I hope you don't mind. But on one of the other blogs you mentioned that your father was gay and had six kids. I'm just wondering if any of your five siblings also ended up gay?
Isn't it a great feeling?
JUST SOMEONE: I only ever knew my 2 sisters of his 6 kids , Never got to meet my half siblings , but of the three from my mom I am the only gay one. It would be interesting to find out I know that his second wife had 2 boys and 1 girl.
Ron : Always good to hear from you !
