My parents still live in the same house i was brought to the day i was born 32 years ago.

i still look at the house everytime i go back home and wonder how much i'd miss it. i walk the backyard and look down the 'cricket pitch' we made with the our foot holes still obvious. the red and green plum trees where we spent a large amount of time every summer are gone because of the drainage problem, but in my mind they still exist because they were always there as a kid. The carport with the chin up bar where i'd see my dad do chin ups every day is long gone because of the extension 20 years ago, but again, when i think of home, i see it and see my father doing his chin ups every afternoon.

i'm kind of glad that much hasnt changed back home and that i still have access to the childhood memories that present themselves so vividly everytime i go back.

i will be sad to see the house go one day, but im hoping that it'd be many many decades after i'm gone.
