Here's what she wrote...
People often dream of places they could live. Some dream of a beautiful, tropical beach, far from the hustle and bustle of city streets and busy people. Some dream of a mountain vista, year-round slopes with powder to play on and hot totties to warm up to at the end of the day. Some dream of being on a farm, living a simple life of raising chickens, growing a garden, and going to bed after a hard day's work. Still others want nothing more than to be in the middle of it all, right on 5th Avenue, where the world can happen while they watch.

As for me, if I could live anywhere, I would live right here. In my home. Tucked away, nestled in the suburbs of bustling city life. Here I have the best of all worlds, and most importantly the best of my world. Here there is always love present... Always a warm smile, wide arms, an enveloping hug. Always there is a firm place to stand and a soft place to fall. This is where I live; this is home.
