Wordless Wednesday: Leaving Syracuse

I’ll let my daughter, Virginia, and the images tell the story of this weekend.

Yesterday the movers came. I was sad and happy.

Me and Sofia were playing with the I-phone. Luke was taking a nap. Mark was watching, and Mama and Dada were helping.

I realized that I would probably NEVER see my house again. I kissed the wall.

Then me and Sofia went downstairs to do cartwheels. When I backed up, I forgot the couch wasn’t there. So I plopped down on the floor.

I thought how much I would miss my:  friends, house, snow. But I was happy to think I would get to see a new place.

    “I kissed the wall” made me cry. What a treasurebox girl who wrote this story of your next adventure together.

      Hi Julie,
      You’re a poet too — I love “treasurebox girl”!
      Thank you for writing in,
      Amy

    Wonderful! I have a friend whose son is having a bit of a hard time with their impending move I’ll share this with. Good luck everyone!

      Hi Kate,
      Children feel these things as much as we do. I’ve found that my own emotions around a move affect my children more than I ever imagined. I hope your friend and her family find some kind of peace in this turbulent time.
      Take care,
      Amy

    This is so sweet. I hope everything is running smoothly!

      Thanks Jen! Yes, as smoothly as a move could go, I would say. It’s hard for me to live in a house that’s this disorganized, but I just have to take deep breaths and know that it will all get taken care of eventually. Enjoy the process, right?

    Beautiful! I think I’m going to try reading this to my four year old. He’s having a hard time with our (still in progress) move.

      Hi M.T.,
      So sorry to hear your 4 year old is having a hard time. Moving is tough for all of us!
      Take care,
      Amy
