Something that I have never been a huge fan of is change.
I actually had a nice time growing up in a very nice home that my parents owned.
There was plenty of land for us children to run around and play. We had a treehouse in the back forested area. We also had a tire swing there and a little playground set that was cool. Eventually, my father helped us install a little window A/C unit in the treehouse which was fantastic in the summer season. We didn’t have electricity out there, so we basically had to run a couple of extension cords to use the window A/C unit, but it was wonderful when we had it hooked up! We were even able to hook up a little TV in the treehouse so that we were able to play games. Well, eventually all of us kids grew up and moved out of the home. I always enjoyed going back to visit though and I even was able to bring my kids to the place where I grew up. Well, on the day that I learned that my parents were selling the place so they could get a smaller home, I was really upset about that. I told them that was basically my childhood memories that they were just selling away to somebody else. I knew that it was kind of selfish for me to take that stance, but I loved that house so much. They had the most wonderful fireplace that I had countless memories of, and even my kids loved hanging around the fireplace while roasting marshmallows. They also enjoyed the treehouse in the back. Well, eventually I just had to give up and say goodbye to that place when they finally sold the home.
