Kosher cooking with Bubbe - The Boston Globe

This is a wonderful story. And I think it really speaks to an emptiness that people have for real connections with what really matters.

Namely, home.

So many of us left our small hometowns to go to college and establish careers and to make our own way. But somewhere along that path, we realize that Dorothy was right. There is no place like home. And even if we do, one day, return, not much is the same. We have to adjust to a new normal.

So much history is lost because we are too busy getting to tomorrow to really appreciate today. And then it is gone. Traditions used to be passed down through generations and now I see a lot of that gone, too.

I see a lot of death as a hospice nurse. I see a lot of regret for not paying attention to things when they were happening in our lives.

No wonder the world longs for a warm embrace from a Bubbbe*.
