Subject: sad sad panda
the only home i've ever known is going away next week. we're not moving, we're getting a new house. it's still extremely sad because i've lived in this one my whole life and almost all of my most important and special memories are here. that's why i haven't been around lately...i've been packing and cleaning and crying and stuff. the gas folks came by and turned off the gas to our stove/oven and i'll never get to cook on it again. i learned to cook and bake that stove. now i'll have to learn another one because no two stoves are alike. the cable's been shut off and the phone and electric will be shut off tomorrow. i've known it's been coming for a while, but it still seems way too fast. it's just so hard to say goodbye to the only thing that's been in my life as long as my family has. i don't know if i'll get to post much after today because i don't know when we'll be in the new place or if we'll hook up the internet access again. and i just feel funny asking friends to use their computers for 'play' things that i end up spending hours at a time doing. so you may not hear much from me for awhile. i'll miss you.

I'm sorry panda. The first 14 years of my life were spent in the same house, so I was really attached to it. Even though the new house was nicer, I still missed the old one. The house you grew up in always has a special place in your memory that nothing can replace it, but over time it will get easier to deal with.

thanks, screwball. i know it will take a lot of time...i have 23 years of attachment to get over. one of the worst parts, though, is that we have to live with my grandma until the new one's ready...scary concept considering she's kind of a nut. and she harps about everything.

Panda,
I feel for you. One's childhood home is so important; a sort of a touchstone that is always there in you mind's eye, even when you cannot be there physically. My family home is still there, but 2700 miles away, and I doubt if I will ever get to be there again :'(

I am sorry that you are moving and not being able to gain access to a computer. Since my dad was in the Army until 1980, we have moved to at least 5 or six cities, including Germany. My sister took moving harder than I did, since she was the one with friends she was leaving behind. And I believe the house I am living now will be sold too. And I'll probably be on the streets because I can't afford rent for an apartment (not even a studio or an efficiency) or mortgage on a new house. So don't worry, Panda. You will find new friends and a new stove to cook on. Still, we will miss you while you are out. :'( ---JC

Subject: Re: sad sad panda
I feel for you I really do.I spent my whole childhood moving as my Dad was in the R.A.F,so my Nan's house was the only house that was always there,and always the same.It was so hard when she had to sell it.Worse for her as she had lived there 63 years. I hope you learn to love the new house and keep lots of happy memories of the old one.

Just do your best, we don't mind waiting for you....blah, blah, blah....Oh h*ll no...hurry back, we're gonna miss You ;)
Subject: Re: sad sad panda
I know how you feel...it is tough the first few days, but at the risk of sounding cliche, think of it as a new adventure. New rooms to decorate, new neighbors to meet, new neighborhoods to explore, new friendships to be made...and I, as an old friend, will be here for you if and when you need me!
Just take it one day at a time...and things will be just fine. Trust me.

I know how Panda feels... My mother sold our childhood home soon after my father died two years ago, and saying goodbye to the place was just like saying goodbye to dad all over again. I drive past it now and then and it looks like the new owners are taking great care of it, so I'm happy about that, but if you've only ever really known one house as home, moving out of it can be an emotional experience.
