"...Here is where your ashes will be scattered. Here is your home 6 years from now. Here is your home 50 years ago. Here is your redemption skin. Your corner store. Your corner stone. Here is your Gramma’s house and dusted porcelain and stuffed bears on the living room walls. Here, where everything grows without permission. Here, where sunflowers rise from the potholes

each and every summer." -from This, Here by Kush Thompson
