Somewhere back down the line, people crossed an oc Somewhere back down the line, people crossed an ocean to get there. Italy, Germany, I couldn’t tell you exactly who or when without combing through my family tree. 

But they left everything they knew, learned a new language and built a life from nothing so their kids could have more. Becoming American was the whole dream. It was the thing they sacrificed for.

And here I am. The one who left.

But I don’t think leaving means I don’t honour it. They moved for a better life, and so did I. Same instinct, opposite direction. They wanted roots. I wanted a different soil.

Maybe one day my boys will cross oceans too.

If you’ve moved away from where your people put down roots, I’d love to hear your story 🤍
