Goodbye Old Friend

Thursday I gave her some extra attention. Extra dusting, extra playing, extra buffing to any hand smudges. One last photo with Ev. Friday the piano movers came and within 20 minutes, she was gone.


*~ Sigh ~*


All that’s left is an empty room with a piano footprint. At least she’s going to a good home where I’m confident she’ll be taken care of. The piano was a wedding gift from my Mom and Ron. I came home from work one day and there it was in our living room with a giant gold bow on top. What a sweet surprise. At first, Aaron wasn’t too excited about having a piano take up a large chunk of our living room, but in the end it grew on him and he was the first to insist on never selling it. It’s just the first of many possessions I have to part with for a while. If all goes well, a year from now I’ll be putting her right back where she belongs. With us at home.

Where did you end up putting her for safe keeps? Hope all is well we need to get together.
