To me a house is more than just a place to reside, it is, in a lot of ways, one of the most influential places of your life. Your home may not be exciting, but it is the place where you will bring your first child home, where you will share joyous memories or mourn a loss, where you will find solace, comfort, and peace. This is why I fill my home with meaningful treasures of loved ones from the past and trinkets to represent the eras before my time that have lead up to my existence.
