I resonate so much with this. So many similarities as my parents are also gone. Our “home” in the U.S. is now Chicago when we return as this is where our kids and some of our family live. My parents grew up in the south and I always referred to that as home… but now living in Portugal (haven’t been to Spain yet!) I have never felt more at home than I do there. The island of Madeira called to me from across the ocean and the trees whispered welcome home. And the whole adjustment of European shopping and being an immigrant is hard but so very worth it :). Thanks for a beautiful read 🤍
Thank you so much for reading! I grew up in the South as well, and it was always home until my mom was gone. I totally get feeling called to Madeira. You would love Spain! it's a lively place. 😃
