Going Home

Going Home

Going home can mean a return to God. I learned this over two decades ago when my  father-in-law, Walter, expressed this desire before he died.

More commonly it means a return to a dwelling place in the living world filled with family and friends.

It can also mean in a more general sense, a return to something familiar and long-standing.

I was intrigued by Kenny G’s use of a lone dancer in the performance of his song: Going Home.

The dancer’s interpretation is a celebration of self, and a celebration of life that overflows with self-confidence.

Life and death can both mean “Going Home”, depending on one’s perspective.

Both can bring peace.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
