home is where the heart is is as true a statement as was ever made. a hut, sans running water, heating, or electricity can be a fine home, and a mansion, sans love, might never be.

Getting off topic a bit here, but... Folksinger Richard Thompson has a wonderful song called "A Heart Needs a Home."
It was originally recorded with his then-wife Linda. He is now divorced. I saw him in concert a couple of years ago, and his grown son Teddy was in the back-up band. At one point in the show all the band left the stage except for Richard and Teddy Thompson, and they sang "A Heart Needs a Home" as a duet. It was one of the most beautiful musical moments I have ever experienced. Listening to them sing I completely forgot myself -- just marvelous.
