The Homecoming
by Heather Ann
Scared and worried about how I would be accepted, I walked
through the snow toward the front door of the house I grew
up in but had not seen for years. The world around me
seemed to be holding its breath in anticipation along with
me. Standing there for a moment, I took a deep breath and
then rang the doorbell.
The first face I saw was that of Momma when she opened the
door. She looked like I remember only a little bit older,
but still a beautiful woman. I didn't have to wait to be
allowed in as she grabbed me and pulled me in.
Inside, the house was warm and gaily lit. In a way, it was
as if I never left. I could almost find my way around with
my eyes closed. I grew up in this house. A hallway to the
right led to the room that had been my bedroom.
Hugging me so tight, Momma said, "Honey, it is so good to
see you! I have missed you so much!"
"Momma, you know why I haven't been home for the last few
years."
"Yes sweetie, I know."
"How is Daddy dealing with what happened?"
"He's doing so much better. I am so glad he went for
counseling. He's still not happy about it but he has come
to grips with the fact that it was not your fault."
Looking me over, Momma saus, "I hope you didn't get so
dressed so fancy just for us. You could have worn a pair of
jeans you know."
"I know. But I thought that it would be easier for Daddy to
accept me if I looked nice."
"I can't imagine you ever not looking pretty."
"Is it alright that I came dressed like this?"
"Of course it is. I am just happy you came."
Looking around, I see Sarah, the older of my two sisters.
She is sitting on the couch dividing her attention between
Momma and me and the Thanksgiving parade on the TV. I smile
shyly and say hello. She just snorts and goes back to
watching the parade.
My brother Jason is playing games on the computer in the
corner. Taking just a moment to look at me, he giggles,
makes a snide remark about how its time I showed up and
returns to his game.
My baby sister Kathy comes into the room from having gone
to the bathroom. Except for Momma, she is the only one so
far that seems to be happy to see me. She hugs my neck and
says, "Hi. You look well. How have you been?"
Hugging her back, I say, "I'm well."
Then a noise behind me makes me look. There in the back
door to the house stands my daddy. In his arms is a load of
wood for the fireplace.
Looking down, in a voice that can barely be heard I say
hello. This is the moment I had feared the most. After he
places some of the logs in the fire and the rest beside the
fireplace for later, he finally says to me, "It's good to
see you." Then he sits in his favorite chair and says
nothing more.
Knowing that for Daddy, Thanksgiving is all about watching
football with the dinner squeezed in, I excuse myself and
go into the kitchen. Momma is busy with finishing dinner.
"Momma, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"You and Kathy can set the table. Then let everyone else
know that dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes. And
honey, it really is wonderful to see you after all this
time."
"Momma, I am so happy to be invited to join everyone this
year."
As we are sitting down at the table, Daddy sits in the seat
I remember him at and Momma is at the other end of the
table. Sarah and Jason sit on one side while Kathy and I
sit on the other. I started to sit at the end closest to
Momma but she tells me to take the other seat, the one
nearest Daddy. In my mind, I call that the hot seat but I
sit down there anyway.
Momma starts the dinner by telling us that we are all going
to take part in saying grace. Daddy will start the prayer.
Each of us are to take turns mentioning something for which
we are thankful. Then when everyone has had his or her
turn, Daddy will finish. Daddy started. The turn passed
clockwise around the table. Jason said he was thankful for
his job. Sarah was thankful for her friends. Momma said she
was thankful for her health and having the family back
together once again. Kathy just repeated what Momma said.
Then it was my turn.
Pausing a moment to think about how to phrase it, I said,
"I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I have my
health, my job and my friends. However, most importantly I
have my family. I am so thankful that I was asked to come
today and be a part of this family once again."
Then it was Daddy's turn to have his say and finish. To my
surprise, he said, "I am thankful for the chance to see ALL
of my children, to have them here and to let them know that
I do love them no matter what." He then closed the prayer
and we began eating dinner.
During dinner, the conservation was the way I remembered.
Jason told about all the bonuses he has gotten at work.
Sarah told us about all to the problems she was having.
Momma and Kathy wanted me to tell them about everything
that I had been doing the last three years (the length of
time since I had been home). I told them about going to the
local junior college to get my certificate in Secretarial
Sciences. I had to take out an education loan to pay for it
and so I could pay my living expenses. I did share an
apartment with two others but one of them left to get
married. I found a very nice little church where I could
work in the nursery and everyone seems to be very happy to
see me.
As soon as dinner finished, Momma got up to start cleaning
up. Putting on an apron, Kathy and I helped. Kathy put away
the leftovers while I dried the dishes that Momma washed.
As we worked, we talked about different things. Three years
leaves a lot of catching up. Of course, the others were in
the living room watching the football games on the TV.
When the kitchen had been cleaned and everything put away,
Momma sat down at the table with me and started asking me
about how I have been. I mean how I have really been, not
the face I put on for the family.
"Have you been lonely? Do you have any friends? What have
you been doing in your spare time?"
"There is a lady that works in the office next to mine that
has looked after me all most as if I was her daughter. And
I have gone shopping with a girl that works at the desk
next to mine. We all get go to lunch together. As for my
spare time, I read a lot."
Then Kathy jumped in. "What about boy friends? Any
interesting guys that we should know about?"
Blushing, I replied, "there is one guy in the Single Adult
Sunday School class that seems to like me. He always saves
a place for me in class and the Service next to him. When
the class meets for lunch after church, he makes sure I sit
beside him. One Sunday, I was not going to be able to go to
lunch because I had some unexpected expenses but he talked
me into going and he paid. And he took me to a couple of
parties the class held."
"That sounds very promising. Has he taken you out for a
date that didn't have to do with the class?"
"Well?yes he has. We went to the zoo once. Just last week,
he took me to dinner and a movie. In the next couple of
weeks, there's going to be a Holiday party put on by his
company. He's already asked me to go as his guest. He wants
to take me to the church's candlelight service Christmas
Eve, and I think he is going to ask me to attend a New
Year's Eve party with him."
"Patti has a boy friend. Patti has a boy friend."
"Kathy, that is not nice to tease Patti like that."
"Oh Momma, this is just a little payback for all of the
teasing I got from everyone."
Momma then asked, "Have you two done anything? You know
what I mean."
"Oh Momma! No. The only thing I have done with him was to
kiss him."
"How did you feel when you did?"
"I must admit that when we kissed the first time, I felt
tingly all over. And when he had his arms around me, I felt
like I was floating among the clouds. You don't think I am
falling in love with him do you?"
"That is a very real possibility. Have you told him?"
"No."
"Are you going to?"
"I don't know."
"Think about this. What will you tell him if you two get
married and then you can't get pregnant?"
"I think I will just say that I had a medical condition
when I was younger that makes it impossible for me to have
babies."
"Well if you are sure that is how you want to handle it.
Just be careful."
As soon as there was a break between games, I told everyone
that I thought I should be going. Momma jumped up and said,
"Honey please stay. I have something for you. Even thought
you were not here the last few Christmases, I bought gifts
for you as well as for your birthdays. I saved them for
you, hoping for the day when I could watch you open
them.You just sit down and let me get them."
Jason and Sarah got up and said that they had to leave
because they had to be at work early in the morning. Then
they got their coats from the hall closet and left without
saying very much to me. Kathy seemed to be so mad at them.
"Can't they see that you are a part of this family? You
have been and you always will be!"
They had just left when Momma then came back into the room
with several gaily-wrapped gifts. Handing them to me, she
had me open them right then. One had a pair of pearl
earrings. Another had a pink sweater. A third had a pendant
that matched the earrings. In a small box, I found a check
for $2,000. Momma said that was to help me out. I could
spend it on whatever I wanted. In the last box was a pale
blue sweater that Momma had knitted by hand just for me.
Sitting there with all these gifts around me, I couldn't
help it. The tears started to flow. I had to run into the
kitchen. Momma got up, came over, put her arms around me,
and held me. She just held me while I cried.
Then Momma said, "Honey, I have an idea. Why don't you stay
here tonight"?
"I would like to but I didn't come prepared to stay. I
don't have anything to sleep in, or clean clothes to wear
tomorrow. Moreover, what does Daddy think?"
"We can just ask him."
Calling into the other room, Momma shouted, "Bill, what
would you say to having Patti stay here tonight?
"If that's what you want, it will be fine with me."
"There you go sweetie. You can stay in your old room. When
you left, we converted it into a guest room. And I bet we
can find something for you to sleep in."
Thinking about it for a moment, I finally agreed.
The rest of the evening was spent with my family. We
talked, laughed, joked and I had so much fun. I had almost
forgotten what it means to have a loving family to be with
during the Holidays.
Finally, about 10:30, everyone agreed it was time to go to
bed. I went through my usual routine of washing my face.
Then going back into the room, I found that Momma had set
out one of her nighties for me. I quickly changed into it
and was just slipping into bed when I heard a knock at the
door. Daddy stuck his head in around the door and asked if
he could come in.
I sat up with the covers around me and said, "Of course you
can. This is your house."
Sitting on the side of the bed, he looked down at the floor
for a moment, cleared his throat and said, " This? this is
kind of difficult for me. But I am glad you came today. I
just had a hard time when I learned that I was losing one
of my sons and gaining another daughter. I had always
thought you would be a star athlete or something like that
in school. But when I saw you standing in the living room,
I realized that it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a
girl. You are my child and I still love you. Tell me, what
was it like for you when you were in the hospital."
"I felt scared because I was alone facing surgery and my
life was about to change in a big way. At the same time, I
was excited about that change."
"I'm sorry I didn't at least allow your mother to be there
to support you."
I hugged his neck kissed him on his cheek. "How can Momma
stand that?"
"Stand what?"
"Kissing you when you haven't shaved?"
Looking at each other for a moment, we both started
laughing and giggling.
Then I whispered, "Thank you. I love you too. I hope you
are not too disappointed in me."
"I could never be disappointed in you. Are you happy?"
I have never been so happy as I am right now. Thank you."
He stroked my head as I had seen him do Sarah and Kathy,
kissed me on the forehead. He then got up, walked to the
door. Just before he left, he turned to me and said,
"Pleasant dreams sweetheart."
"Thank you Daddy. See you in the morning."
As he left, he turned out the lights. I laid my head back
on the pillow, curled up with the covers pulled up around
me and started to drift off to sleep. As I did, I heard
myself whisper, "I love you Momma and Daddy." I felt safe
and loved. I was home.
