leaving

Much rejoicing and hard work today as we move my son and his wife out of our house into their new home. It's very exciting as dismantle a balcony and bring a sofa in through the window... Risk assessments were made but so long as it was me up a ladder the removal men were happy!
A first home, even a rented one is an important step, and although they have done this once already to their flat in London the house seems especially exciting.
Makes me think about the numerous people for whom the crunch means this is an impossible dream.
The bible has no formula for a wedding but that someone leaves their family and cleaves to their wife.
Today feels like a proper leaving and a lovely thing too!
