Fade,
I understand how you feel and while it is difficult, think of the beautiful memories all your children will carry in their hearts that you helped them make, wherever the location. My mom still says "home is where your mom is" and I believe her. |

Today I pick up the keys to our new house (leased). I should be happy. It's a nice house and a great setup. It's $225 less than this one and even a bit better neighborhood (altho this one was fine too) .. since I'm still out of work, it was a wise decision. But we've lived here 8 years. I moved in with 4 kids, and now moving out with 2. One is at college & another got married in December. They still refer to this as home as well. They won't see the next house that way. I am a relationship-oriented person. This is sad to me. So many wonderful memories in this house. So much water under the bridge. So much great family bonding. And trust me I'm so happy I have that. I know we are blessed to have such a wonderful bond between us all. I know all families don't have that. Good times. Fun, laughter, silliness. But tears, pain and sorrow too. Some broken hearts times, but a much larger portion of good times. Just feeling nostalgic over the change. I know it's the only thing constant in life, but sometimes I wish it weren't 'there' yanno? *sigh* |
