Tonight is the last night I’m ever going to spend in this house. My lovely childhood home. It was built when I was about 1 year old, and I only have memories of this house. I am almost 19 now. I moved out for school this last year, but I’m back for the summer right now.
I know that this house is too big for my single mother to care for on her own. Her babies are leaving the nest and she needs to downsize. I’m happy for her, in that way. It’s so bittersweet.
The dog we had when I was still a very small child is buried in the backyard. I don’t remember as much of her as my older siblings do, but I still feel emotional about leaving her here.
I’m already stressed about how exhausting (both emotionally and physically) tomorrow will be. I think I’ll shed some tears but I hope I don’t sob. I don’t want to spend my first day in a new house being sad.
I’ll always have my memories of growing up here. Sitting on my brother’s bed and watching him play The Legend of Zelda. Running into my sister’s room and begging for a ‘sleep over’. Opening our gifts on Christmas morning. Running around in circles with the dogs. Having bonfires in the backyard. Simply seeking refuge in my bed when times were tough… I’ll miss this cozy place.
