At one time, the thought of moving out of the first house that Q and I bought together &#8211; and the house that Zoe and Avery were brought home to as newborns &#8211; was almost unthinkable. How could I leave behind so many years of family memories? (My sister tells the story of my dad sadly saying good-bye to the various rooms of our house when we moved from Milwaukee to Madison when we were little. I was too young to remember this &#8211; but clearly the acorn didn&#8217;t fall far from the tree.) But, speaking of my dad, I&#8217;m a bit different since losing my parents: Being forced to say good-bye to people you love really puts things in perspective. At the end of day, our little house on Wawona St. is just a <em>place<\/em> &#8211; and the stories and memories we created there moved along with us. And, now we can create more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-M<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wawona257-2-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wawona257-2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28063\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wawona257-2-1.jpeg 640w, http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Wawona257-2-1-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As readers know, I&#8217;m a terribly sentimental person.
