empty

on the last day of our old house, i took some photos.
wanted to remember our space.
where the kids spent the first years of their life.
where sam and i met each other, and grew to know and love each other.
where our life was.
the rooms look so familiar - i chose and painted those colours.
yet the rooms look so foreign in their emptiness.
no noise and laughter.
none of our collections of us, our life, our things.
trying to view these rooms, this house, in an unemotional, unattached manner.








this is the before photos, with all our "pieces of life."

  2. I followed the before link. Man, you aren't kidding about the difference.

    I feel the same way I think --
    it is hard to say goodbye to home.
