“ Farewell ”

    Lovely capture of the bittersweet emotion. Made me tear up putting the story to the photo.   Oh how I cried with my last walk through the emptied house where I grew up, that my Dad built with his own two hands, saying goodbye to rooms and the life lived there. Both my Dad and StepMom were still alive, but, due to her dementia, it was the best move to an adult community. You captured the feeling in your description. Wishing them happiness in their change of life. And you, too!
