dear family,

Perhaps 

'home' is not a place.

And  

when we miss home 

it's not the house we miss, nor 

the hometown.

For what is to miss

of bricks and buildings?

No..

it must be that we miss not the physical place,

but rather it is 

her people, the memories, the emotions

that we long to return to.

Dear family,

'Home';

I would say it is not a place,

rather it is a feeling:

the feeling of 

being with loved ones,

of going down routes oft-travelled,

of the familiarity of old times.

Perhaps 

that's what we mean

when we say

"I am home"

It's that time of year again.

Missing home, 

Abang
