Kit, it is rare that I get through a day feeling as warm and peaceful and happy that you - with your wonderful reply to Skooz - and Skooz with that equally wonderful paean to his home, are each on FR and chose to share your feelings about home, family and chosen family...Thank you and may all of you be blessed.
Thank you for your kind words, Postman.
I didn’t think I would touch anyone else with my words. I wish I could write more.
Skooz - you’ll be all right.
My family is a generations long line of farmers and ranchers tied to the land. I was the one who can barely grow rhubarb and blackberries. Who can’t do that?
Since I couldn’t be tied to the land, I chose a martial path and was very successful. My blood and sweat dripped on practically every place I’ve ever been. Invested, they would say.
But here I am. Wherever I am. Same as you.
Kit
