Is home where you were born? Or is where your parents live? Maybe it’s where you own a house?
I grew up 2 oceans over on the East Coast of Kenya in a small town called Mombasa. Having lived in Dundas,Toronto, Hamilton, Uxbridge, Milwaukee, San Jose and now Burlington, my definition of home is maybe a little skewed. All of those places were home at some point. Can you have two places you call home? My parents still live in the house I grew up in, in Mombasa, a little island off the East Coast of Kenya and when I was Skyping with them about what home is, they were mildly offended that I didn’t resoundingly say Mombasa is home to me.
I have lived in Burlington for over 8 years now, Burlington is home to me. But Mombasa is home also. There are some definite similarities in both places.
