For Leaving
May you take time to walk
through the rooms you inhabited, pausing
to remember all that was good
and all that was difficult.
May you hold each memory,
each face, each word.
Take your time.
Laugh, mourn.
Now, may you have the courage
to walk away.

This makes me think of the night we moved out of our house and into a tiny apartment. This was the home that I brought my babies home to and spent many happy days and lots of sleepless nights in. I walked through each room and remembered something happy that happened in each one, and then I drove away. T
