Rethinking that now, his quote - to me - implies that "they" may not necessarily have a choice in the matter. And that sense of unwillingness or reluctance totally ruins the line for me. Me, I like having the ability to choose my home. And I'm blessed to know that there is no reluctance in my family's sharing of love. I know what it's like to have immediate family scattered and apart for prolonged periods of time, and so I can sympathize. Have a beautiful holiday with yours, Waleed.
