Collecting a Life
|
Then I have such a nice place to live here, where my friends are always welcome. We are always welcome to come downstairs in the living room and watch television but I still miss being there at home with you most of the time. It seems here that home doesn't mean very much for a lot of the young people and I kind of feel sad that they really don't know what it means to have a home like I did and to have a loving family that I am so fortunate to have. When I was at home, and I really got downhearted or needed something or another, I always ran home to mom and she was always there for me. And it was so natural, I mean, where else would I go? A good home is worth more than all the world's riches. |
