I woke slightly, still lingering between darkness and the day. For a short while, I felt I was in my childhood bed at home. I heard the house awake with familiar morning sounds but it was more the feeling of home I had. I had that safe, secure feeling of being with my family. That is where I was. The smells, sounds, behaviors; narrow and wide were here and I didn’t want to leave it. I soon stared at the ceiling still with that feeling wondering whether to get up or stay.
