Going Home!

  I’m sitting here reading a book entitled Sin Matters."    The author talks about a lot of things, but I’m reading the chapter entitled  "Headed Home."  He talks about us leaving home…separation…. for the first time and our missing all the familiar sights, and sounds and people…as we wonder if we can make it.  Sometimes it is when Kindergarten starts…and sometimes manifests itself in tears and some insecurity…sometimes it’s when parents leave on a trip and we long for them to return.  Sometimes it’s when we go visit a relative, friend, grandparent and we feel "undone" as we manage ourselves in the "separated state" whatever that might be. Then sometimes it is when we leave home to make it on our own…and how sometimes we long to go back…or not.  And sometimes it is the loss of a loved one who really went Home!  Oh, how we miss them.
