The last few days in our house

I am feeling ready to move on from our house now. I have purposely chosen to say house rather than home because our home will be wherever we happen to be. I have great memories in the house with family and friends. Two of my babies were born here but it still doesn't make it home. My family is what makes it home and that is what is important to me.

We just have a few odd things to sort and then give the place a good clean but I am truly ready to move on. We plan on sleeping in the caravan from tomorrow so tonight will be our last sleep in this place.

David's Mum has just been up from Christchurch for the weekend. She is a wonderful lady and didn't mind living amongst the boxes and eating on the floor. Her health has taken a bit of a turn and she is going to need to start Dialysis due to kidney failure. It has been hard for David because his Dad has Alzheimer's and it may be that with his Mum's health not being so good that they need to look into long term care. I think it does pull the heart strings when you are leaving parents that could really do with your help. Fortunately they are sharing a section with David's brother and his wife. They have been amazing and we are so grateful to how well they keep an eye on Mum and Dad. It does give us peace of mind that we are not completely abandoning them. David's sisters are also very good and we know they will all look after them.
