Happy Birthday, Ace. Oddly enough I also moved back to my childhood "home" when I was turning 33. I still sometimes(most times) feel like I don't really belong here, but other times it feels like I never left(in good and bad ways). My friends of old have also moved on without me and living in rural Alabama and not drinking means I have minimal ways to contact with other adults. However, home to me is most often where my wife is. When I change the sheets on the bed or wake up to her scent in the air.... there are a few moments where I feel a little grounded and it makes things okay for a minute.

Happy Birthday, Ace! Our friendship has always been in words we type and I’m better for it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. I wish your Home materializes quicker than you think it will.
