"I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again"
~Don Henley: "The Heart of the Matter"~
The thing about home is that it is unique to each person... except that they share that beautiful sentiment with a few select people. For example, my home is is the same as my brother and my parents (although they could be thinking of the home they grew up in). I don't even mean it's the same physically - I mean the space that is home depends on these factors: environment, people, habits.
In that sense, I think the family I grew up with, in my home, think similarly to me. It's a beautiful concept really and I am more amazed by the people I was gifted with at birth to grow in that space. In a world of over 7 billion people, we have been mapped to the people in our lives in very significant, irreplaceable ways and that's something to be unconditionally grateful for.
