My husband feels much the same way when we visit his hometown. He'll always be of that place, but this is where he feels most comfortable, where he now belongs.

My husband and I are moving to California this next week.

The promises of available family don't happen as often as we'd like, and hello? No snow in Van. Erin - this was so beautifully written. xo We did come home, in 1999…I miss the West immensely, and sometimes I wish we’d never left.

I see mmyself in your words. Being stuck in Spain fits oh so well in this past you so vividly describe. My children do not fit in, especially my little psycho son who takes just after his misfit, black sheep of a mother. Time to move on... Remember, you get to go home soon! Besos!

The look on their faces when I said I wasn't was priceless. Like you, I never felt like I fit in, so I didn't understand why they thought I would go back. They knew I didn't fit in either. Funny enough, I actually like going back now. For the longest time people asked me when I was coming home. The look on their faces when I said I wasn’t was priceless.
