You know what they say, you can never truly go home again. This might be a maudlin thought, but it can also be freeing. Home isn’t a physical space; it’s a feeling you get around the people you love and the places you feel comfortable in. This doesn’t mean it’s easy to let go of a space, though. You know this if you’ve ever had to move out of your childhood home. It’s so hard to imagine that someone else is occupying that place where you made so many memories and had so much life experience. But it happens, and stuff is just stuff. Those memories don’t go away. It’s on all of us to know this, and to thus act like humans to the people who occupy our homes now. It isn’t their fault that they bought it. It’s theirs now. 

But not everyone understands this, and some folks have a hard time letting go. That’s what happened in this story, where a woman came back to the place she grew up with a lot of expectations. The current homeowners weren’t sure how to handle it.
