My youngest daughter just completed her junior year of high school.  In a year's time she will be graduating and starting college.  And the home that she grew up in will be empty.  

I have heard the term empty nest.  I understand what it means, and I understand a little more about how it feels.  I have been thinking about it for some time.

To me a house becomes a home when the people you love are in it.  This gives me options of a variety of places across the United States.  I have a daughter in New York City, but I honestly don't think I could handle day in and day out in NYC.  I love visiting, but that's enough.  I have a daughter in Arkansas and I really don't have to elaborate on why I don't want to live the rest of my life in Arkansas.  Another daughter is in St. George, but the heat would melt me.  I have a favorite aunt and numerous cousins in the mid west, but kansas city real estate is out of my price range.

And then it just came.  Another daughter is building a home and has room for me. My daughter and her husband, and their daughter (my beautiful granddaughter) and me all under one roof in their beautiful new house.  I'm sorry... it's not a house... it's home.
