Wonderful words. One thing, or rather, one word, that stays in my mind is heimat. I find myself wondering whether there is any distant historical connection, some sort of common root, with the Welsh word hiraeth or its near cousin, the Cornish version hirath.... probably not, probably just my fanciful thinking.
That brought tears to my eyes! I am so happy for you, that you got to experience something like this with your sons and husband. One can feel in your writing how important this moment must have been for you! Thank you for sharing!
So beautiful! I am just going to sit with these words- of feeling seen and known in deeper ways…ways they likely didn’t even know that they didn’t know. Thanks Manuela!

I have recently read something about the word hiraeth. Such an interesting thought!
I love researching the origin of words and its connection to other languages. I will try to find out. :)

Thanks Susanne! It was.
