“Den relatives start svarming, all over da yoint.On Christmas, I hug and I kiss my vifes mother,Da rest of da year, ve don’t speak to each other.After dinner, my aunt, and my vifes uncle Louie,Get into a arguement; dere both awful screwy.Den all of my vifes family, say Louie is right,And my goofy relations, day yoin in da fight.”
I can see my old neighborhood from space thanks to Google and see how much has stayed the same… and how much has changed. I haven’t been there in 38 years. I’d like to go, even though I know so much HAS changed.It’s not so much that you can’t go HOME again, it’s that HOME isn’t defined by time and space or even memory, but exists in the emerging present, where your “heart” moves. And for Snoopy – just as a personality – that would be even more true for him than for most.
Home is where the heart is. Snoopy IS home now with Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, plus his bird friends. One day though, his brothers and sister will come looking him up.

We’ve all been there, Snoopy. This is your home now.

The neighborhoods aren’t the same any more either.

Don’t worry, Snoopy. You’d be surprised at how close to your brothers and sisters you’re going to become again about a decade or so from now!

The reason you can’t go home again:it’s a memory and exist only in your mind.
