“My stepfather, John O'Hara, was the goodest man there was. He was not a man of many words, but of carefully chosen ones. He was the one parent who didn't try to fix me.

I thought about it, then said, "I feel homesick." That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.”
