I've been thinking a lot about family lately. It's rather strange, growing up, watching your siblings go off to do their own things, while far away from home yourself...All that was comfortable and familiar for most of your life becomes that which you try to escape, only to feel a loss and a nostalgia for it once you are on our own. It is easy to understand purpose in life, reasons for striving when you are at home: there are kids to raise, mother to take care of; but after leaving home, sometimes it takes some real searching to find something to work for. Clearly, we are all on a journey toward heaven, and that is a reason for trying in general, but in terms of entertainment and accomplishment, it is nice to have someone besides yourself to think about.
