i moved

[anna christina canaday]

i had been living in the house i was born in for the last 14 years. It was the scene of many crimes against me. Some were actual crimes (my brother molested me and my father tried to kill me) but most were just violations of my personhood and self-image. My son had been begging me for years to move. The house was in bad shape and i could not afford to do all that was necessary. So i abandoned it. The loan company has a shock coming. I moved into a senior citizen's high rise with security 24-7. Since my house had been broken into at least three times and burgled, i was happy about the security. My son was thrilled and was more emotional than i had ever seen him. He came and looked it over and jumped and hugged me and acted more like 13 than 30. It made me so happy to see how much he cared about his mommie. Anyhow, the apartment is on the 12th floor and overlooks the harbor. The view is spectacular and i will be uploading some pictures of the view in a few minutes. This was the best think i could have done for myself. NOt only do i have a clean and healthy place to live but the memories of what happened in that house have faded. I am happy. I still have to deal with the issues and anger and results of what happened and that is difficult but my mind is at peace here. the people are quiet and pleasant and so very nice. My son is thrilled, i am happy and God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. Love you.
