Ending, Final line of the movie

"I finally knew where I was going..."

Then a pause as he looks as his now wife and family.

Why is the last line not "home"? He had stated she was the only one who felt like home to him. He should have turned around and wrote home on the keyboard then credits. I would have figured a movie about writing would have capitalized on the full circle nature of that.

Anyone else?

I feel like at that point, it would kind of be stating the obvious. We see he married Sarah and had the kid, no need to hammer it in. I mean, it could work, but it seems like it's a little unnecessary.
