    A B captures that warm feeling a home gives us as we grow through the years.
    It's hard to say goodbye...but it's time for new memories to begin.

    A B...
    You capture that feeling we all have in our childhood homes.

    May you be just as happy with your new adventure.

    Thanks for sharing this, Brenda. A B has written a poem that captures the meaning of a family home through the ages. I laughed at the grandchildren getting a pass, when their parents would have been stopped. That encapsulates the grandparent role so well.

    I love the thought of a home having good bones. A B has created a lovely and moving poem. I hope her next home is just as happy as her previous one.
