Today is a sad day. Today daddy had to take pictures of our house because we have to sell it. It will probably be our last memory of the Bellmore house where it all started. Mommy and I came here with Penny, and over these past beautiful years, Annelise & Tyler were born into our lives, which transformed every aspect of our lives. The two of you have impacted our lives most profoundly, and this was our starting point.
Unfortunately, we have to leave. I can tell you this. In the past, I would be looking at this situation in the most negative way, dwelling on the past and not being able to let it go. But I can tell you both one thing. As you grow older and grow wiser, you realize that sometimes things happen for the better, and you are better off reflecting on what you had and taking the positive away from the life you had.
I don’t know what to expect in Tennessee. But I do know one thing. The memories we have are not because of this house. You, Anne, and Tyler, you are our memories. The house was nothing but a capsule that incorporated all these memories. We will make great memories in Tennessee or wherever life takes us. We only have each other, and we will make it work anywhere.
Writing this is surreal for daddy. I thought that mommy and I would watch you both grown here and go through all the anticipated milestones that are predetermined for you both. But it looks like “Life” itself has different plans for us. Let’s see what Tennessee has to offer. Hey! If we don’t like it, we can always move somewhere else.
Here is a montage of our home where it all started….
