When we eventually tell the stories of the lives we’ve led, I hope we’ll take the time to paint pictures of the neighborhoods where our lives played out.

This particular scene may not look like much of a neighborhood, but not so long ago it was a highly significant piece of geography for us, and for those we loved.

And as I stare out the hotel room window before closing the drapes one last time, I’m reminded that every corner of the planet is significant to someone. We may never know their stories, but that doesn’t make their respective connections to these places they call home any less significant.

Indeed, I will miss what - and who - made this particular place special.
