Things had been particularly hectic mainly due to the fact that we had moved to a new home. The packing and subsequent unpacking of our domestic stuff had been overwhelming - on top of our regular daily schedules of children, schoolwork, work, business travel, everything!
Moving to a new home is a strange phenomenon. On one hand, Hubby and I felt bittersweet about leaving our old home filled with poignant memories of our children growing up. As we packed the very last item, and got ready to step out of our old home for the very last time, we stood in the middle of the empty living room, gazing around us, with memories of spirited laughter and girlish giggles flooding our minds.
However, on the other hand, a house is but a physical infrastructure, and a home is truly where the family is - where our love, our commitment and dedication to each other flourishes. So, it doesn't matter which house we are in, so long as we are all together in one loving home.
So, it is with elation and excitement that we look forward to spending even more quality time with each other in our new home. We are still in the throes of crazy unpacking, and we are at a stage where we see more big brown boxes at home rather than floors or walls!
