Home?

Jack and I are back home in Boston tonight. I was happy to get home and then was overcome with loneliness as it dawned on me that Dani and Maddie are not here. The two of them have been so much of my last three weeks that I had forgotten what it felt like to not have them with me. I find myself back at home, unable to remember where I keep my flour, my cookbooks, even my pots and pans and I start questioning whether this little space ever really felt like home, or if I was deluding myself. A few tears, and reassuring words from Zack and Dani promising that I really did love my life out here before and I will again, and I take a deep breath, lock my sister and niece away in my heart and move forward resolved to remember how I ever felt living in Boston felt like home.
