Embracing and Showing Appreciation for Your Kids' Hometown
"Maybe you don’t love where you live. Maybe if you had more money or a different job, you’d live elsewhere. Maybe it is too liberal or too conservative or too damn provincial for your taste. But this place you live right now, with your kids?
It’s their home.It’s where they are from.
And that means something. "
