I don’t usually remember my dreams, but fragments of one dream have stuck with me. My mom was visiting. I don’t remember exactly what we were doing. Maybe we were touring my workplace, or maybe she was visiting with my children. Everything was wonderful, until I remembered that my mother is dead. And so I asked her if she was dead, and she said that she was but for some reason it didn’t seem to matter right then, because she was there, and it was okay.

Then I woke up, in a world that is full of many things but no longer holds my mother.

I miss my mom.

  1. Me, too, Seth.
    If home’s where the heart is then I’m out of place.

    Yeah, me too. I’ve never been more homesick than now.

    There’s a saying: “Your home is where your heart is”
    My heart believes it’s true
    And my home’s so far away

    But the seasons and the scenery keep changing
    So I’ll make my home with you
    ‘Til I’m finally home to stay

    When I think of Home
    When I’m tired and feeling homeless
    I come to You
    You’re where my heart is

    There are places in this journey I remember
    Many faces oh so dear
    They can always bring a smile

    But no matter
    where I am or where I’m going
    In my heart you’re always near
    You have made my life worthwhile

    When I think of Home
    When I’m tired and feeling homeless
    I come to You
    You’re where my heart is

    There’s a saying
    Your home is where your heart is
    My heart believes it’s true
    My heart believes it’s true
