Well Loved House
I told Raimi he could stay home and see the movers loading up the truck. Kinnell went to school and brought cupcakes. His friends made him a card and his teacher gave him a present consisting of a bag of snacks.
After the movers got the downstairs all packed up, I came downstairs and found Pixi reading Raimi a Pokemon book. We’re really going to miss being so near to her.

Before we locked up for the last time, Kinnell ran around the empty rooms giggling while Raimi said good-bye to each room in the house, the words catching in his throat.

Good-bye 1602 Rutledge Drive. You were a well-loved house.
