Today I was watching TV, and there was a show that was about this area right around where we used to live. And while I am completely happy here in New Town, as soon as I saw the landscape surrounding Old Town, I started feeling a little...homesick.
Homesick, because, well, that is where Dear Sweet Hubby and I thought we'd be forever. That is where we called home and began to set roots down. Things change, and life goes on, but it will be a little difficult for me to move on completely. I feel like right now I am just on vacation, and that next week, we'll be going back "home" to the countryside that we fell in love with. But...we won't be. This is home now. And like I said, I'm completely happy here and it already feels like home again (we lived here previously for five years or so)...but there will always be that part of me that misses what we thought would be our forever home. It sounds lame, I'm sure. But there it is...the little thing that made me tear up tonight.
Dear Sweet Hubby said we'd go back this summer and visit. As much as I am excited to do that, it will never erase the sentimental feeling that I have for Old Town. That is where we started our family. That is where we began a new life. And that is where we "matured" as a married couple.
And because of that, Old Town will always hold a very, very special place in my heart.
