It is...Oh, I have never put the pain down in words. It is so personal to "go home again." I see you included your siblings and their spouses. Ouch.<br /> <br />Your writing so very clear. Personal memories that were just that, personal and not your siblings. Our family members all have their own perspectives, memories through eyes of their own ages and thoughts of what is/was important to remember. <br /> <br />The weirdness of having to be in a hotel and not have a "home" to sleep as you visit. I have just done all that a while ago. <br /><br />Your short short really struck me. As always, your words have a true rhythm, carefully crafted and I do miss your writing. <br /> <br />I hope you write more often. <br /> <br />Miss our AOL Instant Story days very much.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Ellen Key ( Instant stories group long ago.)ellenkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710128330300566271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026671.post-13064585521428837442009-04-01T08:02:00.000-04:002009-04-01T08:02:00.000-04:00I know how much this trip meant to you.

I'm so glad you were able to experience 'home' again with your family.<BR/><BR/>I felt like I was there with you, reading every word eagerly and seeing you, as a child, running through chestnut hulls, tomatoes spilling from both your hands. What beautiful memories.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15940111982591128035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33026671.post-6826467624599812882009-03-30T03:48:00.000-04:002009-03-30T03:48:00.000-04:00Yes, it is never the same.

So far, I have my siblings for that.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you have a wonderful set of memories, and one way of remembering them is to write them down as you have done here. I'm sure there are wonderful stories to share, too.<BR/><BR/>I love the way you tell this with the little ones as your audience.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you back. Hope you are feeling better!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.com
