My niece is a bit of a drama queen and frequently complains about feeling homesick when the family goes out of town to visit relatives or friends.
I have been away from the DC area (where I grew up) for several years now, and I have to admit that every once in a great while I feel a touch of homesickness. But I know in my heart that I do not live there anymore and there’s no “going home.” In fact, the house where I grew up was sold to another family within months of my high school graduation and the new people remodeled it. So that’s a closed chapter of my life.
Now it’s on to greater adventures, here in Nashville and beyond!
