Reader Comments on Mary's Farm: Visit to the Family Homestead from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:58:43 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-03/features/stillpoint I believe that you can go home again. The outward physical appearance of your childhood place may have changed but the memories come flooding back to you as soon as you walk into the old attic room that you played in when it was too rainy to go outside. The smell of it is the same! I had the pleasure of touring my old family farmhouse after my father had passed (we were going there to ask permission to spread his ashes on the farm he loved so much). The current owner had changed some things but never the spirit of the place. For me, it was so great to be in the house and on the land again. Nothing will ever change that deep connection I have to the farm. And yes, we were blessed with the thought that my father's ashes and thus his prescence, would forever be there on his beloved Reverie Rock Farm.
