Once I (finally) found the man I needed to spend my life with and my baby girl was on the way, I was DESPERATE to have a forever home. We bought the first house that made my heart flutter, simply because I loved the red glass window in the entry (fyi, not a good reason to buy a house). Years of remodeling later, I still feel like I don't have a grown-up house. I figured out that there is something significantly more important than having a perfect house, oddly enough from a line I read on the top of a metal can that I found at a gift shop. "Home is where the mom is." Simply put, this is what gives your child a home. It does not matter where you are or what you have. What matters is that you are together, that wherever you are is filled with love, and that your Home (capital H intended) is where you and your child are safe, comfortable in your own skin, and surrounded with everything you really need (love, support, hugs, kisses...the good stuff). You have given him a wonderful home...wherever you are.
