“With each sunrise, we start anew”
~ Unknown
It's 06:34 AM and I am done. I watched the sunrinse. The house is lonely and empty. I am tired. I need to sleep, but will finish this blog first.
I remember trying to find this place. We were being kicked out of a great place close to campus because the owners were selling the property. We were in mad scramble to find a place to live. We were merely driving around Redlands, after praying about the situation and the third street we turn down has a "for rent" sign standing outside. The move was very quick and barely better than a money-run circus, but we got here.
Sam loved the yard. His little feet would pitter-patter on the tile. I hope Sam remembers this place. There was anger here, sadness here, happyness here, but now just lonliness, melancholy, and exhaustion. I will miss this place - as I miss all places I have lived. I do not like change much, but that is life. Onto the next adventure . . . or something like that.
Good-bye 318 Grant Street. You were a great house.
After I finish the post, I will unplug the internet and the computer and I will close the door on this chapter of my life. I think I will look back on it fondly.
Peace.

This is beautiful man! You should write some more introspective reflective stuff ... I liked it a lot. I remember trying to find my place when I came out here too - I ended up in a crappy place at the far end of Weir Rd over by the Del Taco. My neighbor beat his girlfriend in the middle of the night. I took a utensil from the anatomy lab to defend myself. I think too often we reflect just on the current things going on in our lives - I liked this post a lot man. Tell me about your new place when you get there.
When are you moving?
