Awww, what a lovely ending point there 💖 The thieves could really come and steal whatever — it doesn’t really matter, because it’s the love and the people that matter in the end… 💖
And also, so beautiful how you honor your wife and her art. Many men don’t care about that kind of “art,” but to actually acknowledge it as her creative expression is really sweet, I think.
And I even felt for a moment, like, “ooh, I wish I too could have a wife like that,” haha — I’m not gay, and I’m like that kind of girlfriend to my boyfriend, but it sounded so blessed to be surrounded by someone who cares and tends to the house and makes it into a home… I guess that’s the child part of me longing for a mom.
The thought really just started with was what's our stuff really worth?Like really. Nothing we own these days has any real monetary value. I remember having my bike stolen as a kid. That thing was expensive, even for my parents. My kid has 3 bikes he doesn't ride. We are letting go of our stuff as a society. Sure I have a couple nice things but noting I'd lose sleep over.

Sometimes I complain I don't have my own space. Then I look around and I'm good.

So true! Yeah it's the people that make a home, not the things in it!
