Home Sweet Home

There is no place like home...

I guess I learned this proverb 15 years ago and until now I've never understood the meaning of it.  I was so desperately struggling to become independent and set up my own home that the idea of being homesick was beyond my understanding. Just think, you can come home any time you want, you are in control, you're the boss! And, wow it was so great!  I've learned to do everything on my own. I've even learned to come home to an empty flat without feeling lonely. But I guess there is really no place like home, your parent's home, where every single thing reminds you of your being a child. I have only come to cherish these memories only now when I see them only on the screen of my laptop and visit them only once a year. I think it's time to return home ..... now.
