[ Now that she has no need to travel, or at least nothing dictating that she must, he hopes that she can finally have a life alongside him and the children.

Perhaps he will not have to now that she is home, but the sight of it and the feel of it was enough to remind him that she was still there in some way, and that she would find her way home one day.
