Home Sweet Home

For most of us, those words are about as true as it gets.

A place we call home can easily become the center of our universe, that is often the

source of our feelings of security and peace.

Most people who tell you stories about their childhood home do so with wide eyes and

a wistful smile.

Home is, as they say, where the heart is.

Our home is the place where we experience life.

We fill each room with our laughter.

We chase our passions.

We make plans for the future.

You might remember holidays in the living room or breakfast conversations or exploring

the attic on a winter day.

These homes, nothing more than buildings that we dwell in, somehow become a part of us.

But life isn't always roses and laughter.

Sometimes the things we experience are difficult or painful or both.

Sometimes people do things that leave a lasting mark, like an echo that carries on through

the years.

Upon occasion, these dark moments are even experienced within our home.

From a Beth to American Horror Story, from the typewriters of Shirley Jackson and Stephen

King, it has been made abundantly clear just how much power a home can have over our lives.

Maybe it's the tragedy or the memories.
