Giving the Gift of Home A few years ago, giving the gift of home was not on my mind. If I’m honest, my wife is the giver of the family. She’s wired to give and does it without thinking, sometimes much to my dismay. I think more along the lines of- There could be an emergency! Any emergency at any point in time! And what if there is! We need to save that! Keep that! It’s part of my personality, part of my disposition to value stability, consistency, to be risk averse. Sometimes that can be seen as me being
