My parents lived at 25 Gedenk Street for almost 52 years and they left today to go to a retirement village. I was fortunate to experience this day with them. In a way it should have been a sad day, as it is always difficult to leave things behind... all the memories, all the joys, all the defining moments of your life. But one should also look ahead and this was what was great about this day for me. My parents (even thought they are almost 83) can also start a new chapter. They have new stuff to look forward to. They will make new friends, learn about new things and start a new era. For me this was a celebration of life and being alive.
