I guess I might have got to the stage where I've internalised a sense of home, so that I could go anywhere and feel safe and stable and loved.
They are a good family these days. They write to me and tell me that they think about me, that they care. I do the same. We say what we really think. We look out for one another.
It's not bad really. Maybe they're not so far away, after all.
