Moving

THEN AND NOW

BY JOCELYN CUTIE

Before spelling there was nothing. There sometimes was the slightest glimmer of light in whatever hell I inhabited. The light was mainly emanated by my parents. But the world was mainly dark: I had no way of telling them that I was in this body. I had no means of communication. But I was totally one of the lucky ones. Had Mom and Dad not taken me to see Judy, the nightmare would never have ended. I am getting so teary now, just thinking about then and now.

Moving

We moved this week. It’s a big deal to move, both physically and emotionally. It was hard on my parents, and that upset me. Definitely it was also hard on me, since change is not my friend. I had lived in the old house all my life.

I do love the new house. It’s lovely and I love my bedroom. It’s going to be great eventually because it’s much closer to M2H. Certainly I believe that having a shorter ride is a bonus.

I can’t say I love the house though because it’s not home yet. It has no memories in it and nothing to make it anything more than just a house. I know, of course, that will change over time. We need to do things in the house to make it ours.

So I am proposing that Judy and Alex come over as soon as possible.

Thirty years in one home is a long time, and it is completely okay if your heart feels a little heavy right now. Saying goodbye to the rooms, the sights, and the familiar rhythm of your old house is hard work.
But a new chapter is starting. This move is a giant wrap-around hug from your parents, bringing you right to the doorstep of your community. While the walls around you are changing, the most important things are staying exactly the same: your strength, your voice, and the fierce love of your family.
Give yourself time to get used to the new spaces, the new sounds, and the new views. You belong here, you are surrounded by people who "get" you, and you are going to do amazing things in this new neighborhood.
Thinking of you as you settle in,
Ginny DeLeo (Evan's Mom)
