The dirt under my nails from the new foundation

Dear Delyara, My family lost our original farm generations ago during a forced relocation, a historical wound that broke my grandfather's spirit and left my father working as a tenant laborer. I have spent fifteen years working seven days a week in corporate finance, saving every single dollar I could salvage to reach one ultimate target. Yesterday, the deed was officially transferred. I bought back thirty acres of the original valley land. This morning at dawn, I went out to the boundary line, knelt in the damp, dark soil, and dug my bare fingers into the earth until my nails were packed with dirt. I brought the soil back to my father's bedside in a small glass jar. He can't speak anymore, but when he felt the texture of that dirt, he wept. Goal achieved. We are finally home.
