The House That Built Me

"The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert has made me very reminiscent of my childhood home on Marsh Creek. Of course, if I were to write the song it would go a little differently than her version. She says she needs to go back to find herself, because she's broken and a different person now. I, on the other hand, feel more "found" than ever. It's as if having a child has completed me. I feel more grounded and self confident than ever in my life. It's a truly amazing thing. However, I will always think back fondly to my childhood home, and miss it. It was the canvas for my endless imaginary and real life adventures. It made me appreciate nature and value a hard days work (not that it was me doing the hard work most of the time). Although the house will not be ours for much longer, it's okay, because I will keep my memories there close to my heart always, and I look forward to telling Liam about all the adventures I had there as a little girl.
