Lonelier street

McNultys' moving van


I watched with sadness today as our next-door neighbors, the McNultys, moved out. I remember how welcome they made us feel when we moved in almost four years ago. Now their house stands empty and our little end of Tonsler Drive has gotten a bit lonelier.

Life is full of moments where everything can change in an instant. The death of a loved one, or a pet, or when good friends move away. They knock you out of your happy slumber, sudden reminders that nothing in this life is permanent.

You’d better enjoy every moment in life because they’re here and they’re gone. All too soon.
