My friend has posted a link of her son’s post on his blog. My friend is also a mom of 3rd culture kids like me and so, we share something in common. Anyways, I was so touched with her son’s post that talks about ‘Home’. He has described how he has considered his birth country to be ‘home’ after living in different countries all his life but after he has gone back ‘home’ to study and live independently, only then he realized that ‘home’ is not a place but the people ( his family) that he loves. The post was very well written in which you can feel the emotions of the son and indeed I was so touched after reading it. As a mom of 3rd culture kids, I could relate to what he’s going through since my kids ( as young as they are) are having experiences like this too. Yes, our daughter has asked us many times, where is ‘home’? She was 6 years old at that time and she was quite confused that it seems we were living in a country that is not her mother’s nor her father’s country. If you haven’t known yet, I’m a Filipino married to a Malaysian and our family’s living in Thailand.. So, where is home? ..
