This Old House......

(I was going through a bunch of old journal entries and found some that I would like to share with you all.....this one is one that I wrote on the last night before leaving WA to head back to Thailand knowing I would never sleep in it again....I had lived in that house since I was just over a year old....it held many beautiful memories for me)



Raider color house
Swing under the old maple tree
We each had our very own trees
Had a perfect view of Laura's house
The dog house that Shad hid in
The maple tree we used to climb and swing down on a homemade zip line
Garage where deer would hang from and where dad would go work out in


I will miss fighting over the bathroom
Crowding in the living room to watch a movie
Holidays where every corner was filled with family and laughter
Playing bump in the front yard
Driving to the HighSchool
Walking to the store
Sitting on the grassy hill on warm summer nights
I will miss the smell, the sound, the feel of this old house

Ah, that made me feel nostalgic. I hope you won't mind coming home to a new house. There were happy memories there, huh? Remember how you kids used to sit up in the tree house and eat butterfinger candy bars? Remember sleeping in the green room with the white built in shelves around and above the windows? I remember kissing you good night and making up songs about you...and then you'd say "sing it again Mommy" (Huh?) I also remember singing the Sandman song and "Where are you going my little one, little one". If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have asked the question, because I miss you sooo much and you are so far away. I love you daughter.
