I am happy with your comments! Since English is my second language I am glad about any help to improve grammar or terms.
When I close my eyes the scene appears immediately: small houses sticking to the terraced hill, cypresses, bald and lonely, warm rain falling from mountain clouds. I can hear the music of the landscape, it sounds in my heart like an everlasting OM, telling me I love my homeland, wherever I will be on this planet. But still I am thousands of miles away and God only knows, if I ever will come back again. The day I followed you changed my life completely. Though, after thirty years I am sure my home is where my heart is. And my heart is with you.

This was wonderful and so impressed that English is your second language. Dawn referred me to you and that love letter was one I could definitely write my husband. He is German and we just moved back to Germany in May.

Such lovely sentiments, I really enjoyed this. Not a grammar point, but I think the houses ‚clinging‘ to the hillside has a better ring than ’sticking‘. Just a personal viewpoint. Really well done.
