Move from home at Snow Whites Road


I started packing already in February. Staying up all night thinking about our storage room. First I was very strict about what should go. I held a garage sale and gave lots of stuff away. Hardest part was negotiating with my son about his toys. Luckily my mother agreed to take the big thinks to her place. Now we have visited the toys and I think my son is content them still being his even though they don´t travel with us.   A friend of mine bought half of our home. She had lost her house to mould and was happy to release us from our belongings. What I learned from this is not to buy things. It is very time consuming to get rid of everything. In the last week I had things left over that I just put to our storage room. Like these cameras below. I don´t use them, but they are old and beautiful. We did not have to pay any extra for our storage room, since our tenant agreed to let us have one of the two storage rooms down steers at our apartment building.  

In the end there was only the echo left of our home. Last nights my son was a very troubled sleeper. He got anguished not knowing where everything was. So we toured our storage room and my mothers and went over who was getting what of his old stuff. As we closed our door for the last time I cried already missing the home we had there. 

Now we are living at my mother-in-laws house for the time being, while waiting for the visas. I feel relieved that all packing is done. This is such of between stage. I feel like floating. I watch too much television and go jugging every evening. There is not so many things to do. Running makes me calm and ready to face the uncertainty of our future.
