There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room.It is simple:a brown wooden
dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It's proof I lived,I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom.But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.
