Returning home
Here I stand . . . My grandfather built this walkway Such a sense of connection I recently took a trip to New Jersey on the Amtrak (my first train ride ever) to visit my family and connect with special friends. It would have been my daddy's 82nd birthday on May 19th and I wanted, I needed to feel close to him. So I went to his home town in Little Ferry, New Jersey. I spent precious time with my remaining family, laughing, giggling, taking pictures, remembering special times. I took a walk to my Nanny and Pop Pop's house on Henches Place. So many feelings rushed to my heart I was grateful to be there at that exact moment remembering what was. I knew this was one of those life moments . . . Life Moments they come when you least expect them times in your life when you know you just know this is a special time a time that is unlike any other a time you know you will never forget a time when your heart races a time when you feel your heart pounding outside of your chest I call them life moments my heart stood still at the house on Henches Place that still small voice inside spoke to me quietly saying you are here thank you for coming we love you here little Zeppieri girl you came home just once more never forget this very special life moment Thank you Jennifer Belthoff for a beautiful weekend and delivering me to my family that very special Sunday morn. |
