This was so beautiful to read! A wonderful piece. Sometimes I wish if I would have known it would be goodbye then maybe I could give a good farewell

Loved this. Reminds me of the quote from The Office, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."

I lost my childhood home, the only home I had ever known a few years back. And everything that you wrote about, is exactly the ache I've been feeling and carrying ever since. I didn't have the words or the courage to write about. But to find this profound piece felt personal, as if you were writing about everything that I couldn't. Thank you for writing it and more importantly sharing it.
