old house

Dylan,

We're inches away from reaching agreement to sell our house and move. You're taking the news in stride.

"This is our 'old' house" you said to me, your face not betraying any of the significance of the proceedings. Our search now begins in earnest for a "new" -- and better -- house for you to grow up in (for a while).

My parents never moved when I was growing up. I don't know what kind of memories you'll retain of the place. As significant as it's been in your life so far, it'll probably be relegated to the back of your mind like the oldest chapters in an unwritten history book, and mostly forgotten.

I'm glad we've got so many pictures and videos.

Dad

Our buyer has informed us she intends to back out of the deal. Looks like we'll be in the "old house" a bit longer than we thought.
