We do have our memories there, and some we will share from time to time and others will remain unspoken.

I had all the same sentiments and flood of memories when my parents moved (and divorced). I will remember all of the summers that I lived there with you and all of the memories that, as you say, will never leave or lips. Life is about moving forward, just keep that in mind.

You have amazing memories of that house. And while being in the house may trigger those memories, the memories are inside you. You can still drive past the house when you are in town.

I've been living with this same uncertainty for a couple years (yep, it's a slow market there) and have been slowing making peace with it. One trip, perhaps the next one, I'll be visiting a brand new house for the first time instead of going “home.”

One thing I've started to realize is that HOME is where the people are that I love. Even if the house is weird and unrecognizable, the people are going to be the people I love most.

I think you post here is a great start of collecting and honoring your memories. I suggest that you continue to write about them. Collect pictures of times in the house, and of the house itself.
