- It's not smokey here.
- The tv gets turned off and the house is quiet sometimes.
- There is so much more space in Josh's room than in my room.
- There is tons of food and if you get hungry you can eat whatever you want.
- Nobody is watching and waiting to see if I do something wrong so they can yell at me.
- I can stay in the shower as long as I like.
- It is quiet and calm here.
- There are flowers throughout the house.
- There are no drafts coming in through the windows or cracks in the walls.
The aftermath of my life after 9/11, when half my family died. How I am struggling to come back to the self my mother used to love and be proud of while still letting myself grow.

I'm so glad you get to have this sort-of vacation and wish that you could have this living situation all the time. Someday soon, you will! You've identified important attributes for your future home to have. Keep your eyes on your goals.
Sam - I agree with Anon above. YOU will have this someday. Your such a hard worker. And I love how you express how much you appreciate everything, no matter how small. Again, I know you don't know us but if your mom was hear, she would be mighty proud. Keep your head up Sam.
