Goodbye to my childhood home

Well, as of this afternoon, the house where I grew up, the only house I have ever known, has been sold. I moved there at the age of four and lived there my entire childhood...until I graduated from college and got my first apartment downtown. It was my parents' house for almost 30 years. What this house means to me and the memories it holds cannot be adequately expressed in words. It will always be my family's home in my heart. I just wish I could walk through it one more time, slowly, deliberately, just as I remember it.
