You can’t go home again

Thomas Wolfe famously noted: "You can't go home again."

I, however, disagree.

Yesterday for a few short hours, they were home. And it was glorious.

He had learned that he could not eat his cake and have it, too. - Thomas Wolfe

He had learned some of the things that every man must find out for himself, and he had found out about them as one has to find out--through error and through trial. Thomas Wolfe

Each thing he learned was so simple and obvious, once he grasped it, that he wondered why he had not always known it. Thomas Wolfe

He had learned that he could not devour the earth, that he must know and accept his limitations. Thomas Wolfe

He realized that much of his torment of the years past had been self-inflicted, and an inevitable part of growing up. Thomas Wolfe

And after yesterday, they each had assurance that they could always come back home again because no matter what might happen on the road ahead, each would always be deeply loved and accepted.
