Goodbye, Old Friend

Goodbye, old home, our time with you has come to an end. I have for the last time tucked my children into bed under your roof. No more will I stand at your sink doing dishes. Gone are the days of vacuuming your carpets and cleaning your windows. We had some good times together, you and I. You have seen me through some good times and some bad. Precious memories have been made in your walls. All three of my precious girls were brought home from the hospital to your comforting embrace. Two have taken their first steps and have said their first words inside of your heart. I leave you with the hope that another family will soon come and fill your void. And you will care for them as you cared and watched over us. Thank you for the time that we have spent with you. So long, old friend.
