LJI Where I'm from

[deza]

I always envied people who had generations of family in one area. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, seeing the extended family every time you went to the store; I've never had that

Love this. I'm an Air Force brat. Where my parents and sisters are still feels a little like home, but Home has become my husband. I get how it's the people.

Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not the only person who feels this way.

A reminder that home is not always the geography, it's the people within it. That's how military families manage to function.

[deza]

Yep. It's a much harder life than most people realize.

I know, better than most, how dangerous it is to build your home in a person instead of a place. Nailed it with this. *hugs*

Thank you!

What a thoughtful poem! I especially liked the last 3 stanzas, particularly the last one. Well done!

Thank you!

Air Force brat here and a million yes's to this. It's short and succinct and yet so very full of experience. Nicely done!

Thank you! It's so good to be hearing affirmations from other people who have lived it.
