House left empty.
Daughter Lauren moved today
With Steve.
Goodbye Kitchener.
Hello Listowel.
Commuting back to Same good jobs.
leaving mother Janice and
Hilary and me, behind.
Well, almost.
House was forum for
Hospitality
Solace
Recovery
My healing time
Recovering from surgery.
Arguments, then
Solutions.
Drawn out purchase
And sale efforts.
Abiding unemployment
For a while.
Victories coming.
But still a new
And changed environment.
Good stuff.
Love and best wishes….Dad
