I’m so glad you found/made a home. “God bless all who are abroad and homeless” — may they all find such blessing.

We still marvel at the miracle of our mutual admiration and boundless affection. “Great how that worked out, huh?”

I love the story of Ruth. A woman who took family where she found it, and kept her heart open.

Thank you for all your kind words.

I just remembered what it reminds me of: the book of Ruth, in the Bible. Which is also about finding home, I guess.

I’ve known a couple people who had the misfortune to be born or adopted into unloving families, and boy did they bear the scars. It sounds as if you have very lucky/blessed by comparison. Thanks you for sharing this moving story.

Thank you, zhoen.

It’s such an affirmation, too, of the capacity we all have for love. Thanks. (I bet he’s glad to have found home in you, too.)

Isn’t that where the plot takes a radical turn? Ah, zhoen, the openess, not having carefully to be anything, how freeing, and falling in love, and the best kind of love, which is liberating, this turn to your life beautiful, and thank you for sharing with us…
