“Where are you from?” “Where do you live?” “Where is your home?”
For a trailing spouse like me, common small-talk questions like that can feel pretty complicated!
I don’t feel that “home” can be confined to just one place or person. Home is Bellevue (where I live now), Bengaluru (where I spent my childhood), and Delhi (my husband’s hometown). Home is wherever I’m currently living with my wonderful partner — and home is where my roots are, too, where I spent a beautiful childhood filled with joy, laughter, adventure and play.
