In just a few short days I will be boarding a plane to head home. Well, to head to Louisiana. I have been calling that home lately. Even though I grew up mostly in KY. Then TN became home because that is where Dodo was. I loved TN. It was a lot like KY yet it had it's own personality as well. So where is home now? For me I feel like home is where ever my family is. So I guess home is now Louisiana. I feel drawn back there. I want to go home. My heart wants to be near family. Not just the living either. Mama and Daddy are buried back there, all my Uncles and my one Aunt. Friends who have past through the years and friends who are still alive back there. My best friend lives in Slidle.
So anyway, I'm going back to spread my brother's ashes somewhere in the Mississippi River. That was his request and that is what he will have. I'm sorry Dodo for taking so long. But you know me.... I am praying it will bring closure for me. And while it may do that, I doubt seriously that this pain in my heart, this huge gaping hole will never heal.
I love you Dodo!
Love,
SN
