"Goodbye House"

The house sold today! Thank the Lord! I don’t think you understand that we won’t be living there anymore, though. This morning you said you wanted to go “home” and I tried to explain that we sold our house to some other family who really liked it and we would be living in Shreveport now. You asked why, and I tried to explain that our family needed to be together now and this is where Daddy’s work was. I said “you want us all to be together, right?” and you said , “no, I want to go home.” It broke my heart. I tried to explain that we would get a new house here and all of our stuff would be in in, and you wanted to know if it would have stairs. You really want stairs. When I asked you why, you said, “just like Miss Stacy’s” in a real matter of fact kind of way.
