How many people have gone through this place?
How many emotions were experienced?
So many stories were created here and played out.
We were tricked and surprised, sad and joyful.
We laughed and laughed and we cried.
Years have passed, and now we have moved on.
We relocate to something new.

When they were little, my children used to be interested in everything that I used to do.
