421

So I went with George and Breezey as they toured 421. I had not been in that house since 1979- the year Dad moved the family out. It was both exactly the same and different. The kitchen has been totally renovated, the laundry room moved out to 'Tom's room' and the half bath off the kitchen expanded into the 'old laundry room' site with access through the dining room. Other than that, the house was pretty much the same. It was a bit odd walking through it the same age Mom was when we lived there. George really wants to buy it - Breezey was not sold on the idea. It would be wonderful to get it back in the family but I would never be able to live there - too many memories. And my heart broke when I thought of all the folks I knew and loved that are no longer with me. I could see Chowkidar roaming the backyard and Mom and Dad sitting in the living room. I could see young Hunts climbing out the bedroom window and jumping off the garage roof. And that's all gone now - the young Hunts are old and the old Hunts are gone. I'm going to have dreams about that house for weeks now.
