The verb form of the word “home” refers to animal behavior.
- (of an animal) return by instinct to its territory after leaving it.
Where do you return to? Where do you go by instinct? What is safest?

My home on Crandall Street in Binghamton post graduation. The first place I ever paid my own rent. The place from which I currently live and work.
My mom on a walk in the evening. Whitelands road. I love this photo of her. I feel like she looks so beautiful, even though she wouldn’t think so. My mom is old and young at the same time.

Our families at The Frozen Rainbow. The icecream place we would go to after dinner at the river. Mom, dad, Lara, Kai/Kate, Indira, and Jennifer (Mark is not pictured) My dad loves me and I know it because of this expression.
