One of those moments

My daughter and her husband are here for Christmas, this is his first Christmas at home in 3yrs ( Army ) so they'll be spending most of the time with his family but, for now, they are with us.

As we had all settled in for night all warm and toastie I heard this sigh, I asked my daughter if she as tired and got no answer, ( must be asleep ) several minutes later she come over and gives me a hug ( I see teary eyes ) and says it's good to be home.

So now, here I sit, everybody sound asleep and I'm looking around the boat with its little Christmas decorations realizing that home truely is where the heart is and Norman Rockwell could'nt paint this if he tried

Best gift in the world

I have four boys and whilst I feel the same way about home (it being where my heart / family is); I hope to have the same beautiful moments in my life as they get older.

Thanks for sharing mate, and have a happy & memorable holidays.
