Mixed Feelings- Leaving Home

I'm feeling the need to repeat the above words today. 

With those basics I can be happy wherever I am.

To my first home:

Thank you for being everything I thought you would be.

Thanks for keeping me warm (most of the time),

for hot water and the best shower head ever (I still might steal it),

for original hardwood floors and

for the refreshing shade of the maple and the patio in the backyard.

Thank you for housing family and friends when needed,

for putting up with lots of laughter and music

and for giving us a space to learn how to love better. 

I will miss you.
