Can confirm. I am almost 10years out from my "home town" (more or less, socially speaking) and it took me some time to reflect and realize, that "home town" is (for me) a romanticized, emotional concept and "what I experienced" can literally never occur again in that specific geographical location (at least not in 2 lifetimes) due to change.

That being said - I do wish my children were able to see their extended family more than once a year (travel costs/calendar coordination/ etc... being the impediments)
