I’m not as sentimental as I thought I was.

The sale on our old house finally went through this week. The whole process nearly went on longer than The Godfather.   I still call it ‘home’ in a slip-of-the-tongue way, but it hasn’t felt like that for a while. It’s funny when you strip all your stuff (and particularly your kids’ stuff) out of a house, it looks like a shell, waiting for another family to give it life. Or at least it did to me.
