Moving beds

We’re moving out.  We have to sell the farm, there’s no avoiding it now.  The costs of fighting off Jim’s team of lawyers were way more than anything I could afford. We’re moving into my father-in-law’s house next door.   It’s a lot smaller than the farmhouse, but we’ll adjust. We moved our son’s bed today, and we’ll move ours tomorrow.  We expect to spend the night there tomorrow.  I’ll be making bean soup for dinner.

It’s all so unreal.  I’m still partly in denial I think.  It’s one thing to discuss moving out and selling the place.  It’s all been abstract and kind of distant.  It’s just now sinking in that tonight will be the last night I sleep here.  This house, this wonderful old rambling home that I’ve known and loved all of my life, isn’t going to be my home anymore.  As I sit here in the kitchen writing this, I think of all the jams and jellies my mother used to make here, all the special dishes for church socials and family gatherings. I think of all the meals we shared here, and all the pleasant evenings.  Pop liked to watch TV, and Mom liked to work jigsaw puzzles, sitting right here at this old kitchen table.   I can’t imagine not having this place in my life.

I have to let go.

I’m scared.
