Swansong
"The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground."
-U2, Beautiful Day
Our heart is in Wales. To some extent we feel as if we've set roots down here. The mere thought of Wales engenders a deep feeling of belonging for us. And just as flowers that emerge from stony ground also set roots in a place they don't necessarily belong, it still hurts to leave - like being pulled from the place you've made home before you can truly blossom.
We leave Wales behind, full of hope and anticipation for starting a new and exciting chapter of our lives in the States.

You can never leave Wales. It holds on to your soul forever. By a Welsh emigrant.
