She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. Thats why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think shes lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me?I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grassI couldnt wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的, 粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small tree house, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before Fathers death. This house is specialmaybe only to mebut special nevertheless. Its the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight snack runs; the smell of my fathers pipe that still exists; the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up. 59.
