And You Were Always On My Mind

























90% of the time I just think about why I left and how to get back.

Julie and San Francisco

I took Julie to SF for the first time, and the two things she really wanted to do were see the Grateful Dead's house and... the Full House house. I don't have photos of the latter, there was a queue of 4th graders and their parents waiting to stand on the stoop.

Sister

Living closer to her is one good thing about all of this.

Hard Times




















Packing up your beloved environment and saying buy-bye to it is kind of the worst... I spent the last week in my house leading up to packing, just standing in corners of rooms forever, looking. Like at what I obviously knew was there and had been for some time. Figuring out where I'd put all of it in a much less perfect space, in a bigger space even. What to take, what to give away, what to leave there for Beau. I took a couple pictures but not many- I thought the memory would live on better in my head than on my computer or a blog. I was so connected in such an emotional way to this house, it realy felt the most like mine than any other place I've ever lived. Even though I can still come back here, seeing it empty was remarkably painful, and even now looking at this last photo, my heart feels heavy so I have to go. Bye.
