We are moving on from the house of sunsets and traffic whoosh. A lot has come and gone in the years that we have lived here. It took a long time, but I am as close as back to my old-self again that I ever will be, and that is good enough, because if I was exactly the same, I wouldn’t have learnt a thing, and that would be sad.

My son, sentimental as they come, is the saddest of us all to be leaving here. I try to make it better for him, by reminding him that we are leaving by choice, not tsunami, or volcano, or famine or heaven forbid we never had a roof over our heads in the first place.

So, soon we won’t be here. And this chapter will be closed. I am looking forward to turning the page on all that has been, and devouring with gusto the life that will unfold on the pages of our home. It is a place in trees, away from hustle-bustle town, and it is ours. My heart is happy at this possession, I have waited and wandered and longed to know where I am from, to be able to say, “This is home.”
