It's sad day in our little part of the world. Our neighbors across the street are moving tomorrow. Shane and Lori are a wonderful young couple with two terrific boys aged six and four. They don't have a new place yet but Shane wants to get a place with a lot of room for the boys to roam and for him to tinker with stuff.
When they decided to sell and look for a new place, they had a wonderful discussion about what to look for.
"When the boys get to be our age, what do you think they'll remember most?" Shane asked his wife one day. "That they had a lot of room to move around or that they had three bathrooms in their house?"
There is no right answer to that one, of course. It is simply a matter of personal preference.
We'll miss them because they are truly nice people. We had little in common with each other but we still chatted about a lot of things. More importantly, we always saw them smiling and the boys were busy ... being little boys.
You always say you will keep in touch when neighbors (or friends) move away but it is hard to do. So, perhaps the best thing to do is simply wish them well in their new adventure and hope they'll remember us as fondly as we will them.
Good luck, guys. Thanks for being good neighbors ... and even better human beings.
