We’ve been here about 6 months now
and are just today
hanging our family photos
and once again
excavating our lives
and the memories
and many different
phases of them
from the cardboard
and plastic boxes
It is a process,
a road we have been down
many times before—7
to be exact,
and all in 9 years…
It does not come
without
its fair share
of pain and tears
The hanging of the photos is bittersweet…
We commit to the walls, once again
the treasures of our hearts,
settle in
and create our home
