I Want to go Home

As I was assisting my son with the adjustment of his wheel chair, my son suddenly blurted:

"I want to go home"

I looked at him strangely. He chuckled abit and looked up at me, "I don't know why I said that." He chuckled again.

" Are you wanting to go back to Sebring, or Orlando?" I asked him. He laughed again.
"No."

"so why are feeling like this?" I was curious.

"I'm not sure, I've been feeling like this for a long time." He replied. And the conversation ended there.

I thought it was interesting that suddenly Timothy felt he needed to go "home". To which neither of us understood why he felt this way. But then I got thinking, is Tim's body really deteriorating so much that maybe his home is someplace other than here on earth? Why did he feel the need to go home?

I think the way things are going on right now in this world, I think many of us are feeling the need to go home.

Is Tim feeling homesick? I know at times I feel homesick. Do you feel homesick at times too? Wanting to go home.

When you think, "I want to go home", what comes to your mind?

I have been helping Tim with alot of his class work due to his physical limitations. He has a 8 page paper to write on the Samarai. We have watched the movie, "Twilight Samaurai" and now having to find the resources. I found it interesting that these men are so high skilled trained to be warriors but lived poorly. In this movie, he chooses to fight over to kill a man, and not with a sword but a bamboo sword...only because of his morals and values. But when he returns home, he finds a treasure he could not resist and kept till the day of his death.

My son wants to go home....I just wish I knew for sure where that is...& when he will leave. I hope soon he will realize that he is already home.
