Hey friends,
Just a couple of days ago our youngest son left home to live in Michigan for two years. As it happens, 28 years before that (to the day) our first child was born. So, my wife and I have spend exactly 28 years raising our family and now we suddenly find ourselves "empty nesters". The house is more quiet (I'm kind of sad about that) though I expect it will tend to be cleaner with the kids gone... less popcorn between couch cushions, random socks in odd places, books and musical instruments on the dining table. All that stuff that was a hassle not long ago, now brings a smile. Kids bring life to the home and I am going to miss them and the times when they wanted to talk at 10:30pm- just when I wanted to go to sleep.
They say "home is where the heart is". I think that's so true. With the recent changes in my life I'm especially aware of how precious home and family are. I want to celebrate "home" in this newsletter and share some images that I hope will resonate with you.
(I love to include symbol and metaphor in my art. Below each piece is a short explanation of the message contained in the painting.)
