We did much of what we wanted to do, and those things we were prevented from doing, weren’t really that important to us. We were limited only by the boundaries of imagination and yet there were no boundaries. We shared everything; lived it all together in the best times of our lives; and we did it where we knew the people, the traditions, the places; this little part of creation for us was home. It will always be home. “Home Free” isn't just a catch phrase that was a trigger for trouble, or even a traditional battle cry, so much as it is the mantra that captures our spirits and describes our character like nothing else can.

Tony Strubel and Mike Rothan have been friends for over thirty-one years. Their lives had humble beginnings and yet within those years of life, they formed a story. Tony is now a father of two and a husband of 15 years. He is currently struggling with an illness that plagues his days with pain. Mike is a Catholic priest and pastor of a parish, having been a teacher earlier in life. Both of them have changed throughout their lives, and yet are the men they are, because of the story they lived. Any great gift becomes greater when it is shared with others. Through sharing this story with others, it is their hope that minds and hearts may be carried away to a simpler time, and be transformed with words, the way we were: "Home Free".
