Peering through the window now,
I think of our yesterdays.
I can see the kitchen table laid,
it was under there I played.
I can see you pottering all alone,
a smile upon your face.
Knowing that I’d soon be home,
to this very special place.
I can smell the distant memories,
cake and homemade jam.
Looking to my childhood home,
from where my life began.
If I travel the whole wide world,
or to other planets further.
You’ll always stand as home to me,
you’ll always be my mother.

Thanks! Yes, things are going well. My 94 year-old mother weathered the storm in Florida! Went to some neighbors, but returned home yesterday!

Wow, good for her! I suppose she’s seen a few storms and has a few tales to yell at 94 😊

I loved the picture too, I forgot to mention that. It had such an inviting quality to it, “home” tbh.

No, he’s only had this home 7 years and didn’t grow up with my dad, got to know each other later. He left when I was a nipper xx
