I've never really cared if we have a huge home or not.
Cause I know deep down inside that is not what it's about.
A home is a place where our loved ones can come together.
To know we are not alone no matter what we must face, and that things will always get better.
A home is a place where my heart is filled with joy, and the sounds of laughter fill the air.
To look into my children's eyes and remind them of how much I care.
Our home is the one place they can always be themselves, and that can be very rare.
I know one day they will leave. I hope and believe that they can take with them what they have learned.
May they find a new place that they can call their home!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
