“It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home.” Two years ago I walked into a place I soon called my home. It was a place so very established, with growing love. It was a place that brought me so much peace, comfort, and friendship. Two years was not long enough. Although I came for a short stay, my love for this home and this family is bursting the seams of my heart. This is not goodbye, this is a “see you later.”
