Goodbye House

I am going to miss this house. Sometimes I see Will in parts of the house and I think I could burst into tears.

We became a family under this roof. Both kids were brought home to this house. Will learned how to be a boy here. So many, many memories are about to be taken away.

As I pack the house I simply can't imagine anyone else living here before or after us. I walk through the rooms and I wonder what great experiences were held here. I wonder if other kids will live here. I really wonder if anyone will have it as good here as we did.

It's kinda sad leaving the house your boy grew up in. The only house your daughter has ever known. The living room they play in everyday. The room your boy slept in on his own. The window that watched so many things come and go. The yard you played and gardened in so many times. The kitchen your boy demolished. The bathtub you bathed your children in. It's so sad to see it go.

Our neighbors are even sad to see us go. I hoped it wouldn't be so hard. Keely will never remember this place and Will in time may forget. He came into his own here. So many fun, awesome and joyous times were held here. I feel like I am leaving a part of my soul here. A huge chapter is closing. I am getting older. I am excited about our new place. Really, I am. It's going to be such fun. This place though will always be so special to me and I thank it so much for being so good to us.
