As an aside, my wife is currently in nursing school here in Seattle, and is a hospice volunteer.<br />Wanted to simply respond to your thoughts on moving and memories. I was born, raised and lived in Atlanta for 40 years. I didn't want live in the same city all my life so my wife (who is a military brat for the former USSR and used to moving)and I decided to move cross country here to the Seattle area. Everything just seemed to work out. But we only brought was we could bring in two cars. We purged and gave away a lot of items and left a few keepsakes with my parents. Despite memories, it is amazing how liberated you feel in such a purging. You realize how little really one needs and that your home is not all the items we can't seem to find enough storage for. <br />Of course, we miss my parents (in their 80's) and friends, but the move was a blessing to us. <br />Good luck on your move cross country and I hope you feel some of the liberation we felt and enjoy new landscapes and new friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579068141126520847.post-12604529301026434122012-03-01T13:58:50.907-08:002012-03-01T13:58:50.907-08:00Sharon, I will always be in touch with all things ...Sharon, I will always be in touch with all things New England by your beautiful blog.Janice Badger Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486315544868690019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579068141126520847.post-57776173943639898632012-02-29T03:37:20.528-08:002012-02-29T03:37:20.528-08:00Janice, I too wish you could sit down and have tha...Janice, I too wish you could sit down and have that cup of coffee with your mom once again. Or share your thoughts with Uncle Joe. My life has been fortunate so far in that I haven't lost anyone close to me. Surely I won't take it well. The grief is understandable.<br /><br />The move has to be difficult but it sounds like you are committed to positivity and new beginnings. I look forward to reading your new adventures as you spread your wings with your own family by your side : )<br /><br />SharonA New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579068141126520847.post-2715418140154635872012-02-28T06:41:00.401-08:002012-02-28T06:41:00.401-08:00Sweet and real.
