Dallas Home

We were in Dallas this past week. I took Jon past my family's old house. They had painted it, and it looks so great.


I thought if I could touch this place or feel it

This brokenness inside me might start healing.

Out here its like I'm someone else,

I thought that maybe I could find myself

If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.

Won't take nothing but a memory

From the house that built me.

Did you write that poem?

The house does look nice. It's amazing the difference a coat of paint makes.

Dear Rebecca, I am so sorry to see your loss is so hard for you! But let me reasure you that your house is just a house--the "home" you grew up loving is deep within your heart and you will carry and share that with you no matter where you reside, always!
