David and I have been talking more and more about moving and I keep thinking I am wondering if it is the right move for Charlie. Charlie has been in Major Cheney since he started school in Kindergarten. Which I love as it has allowed Charlie to remain close to the kids he started school with.
One of them is Bradley who is also our next door neighbor. Now if we move would they remain friends. Which I am sure they would as Bradley’s grandfather and great grandmother live next door to Granny Sherry. So he would still see Bradley just not as much.
Then there is Kayden although Charlie only sees Kayden during school but he is his best friend so moving might mean they wouldn’t ever see each other again. Or us being able to see there family and that would upset me as well as Kayden’s mom Kerry and I are friends.
Then there is also Aiden and even though Aiden doesn’t live close to us we pick him up a couple times a month. So if we move somewhere else would this mean Charlie and Aiden wouldn’t be friends anymore. Or that I would have to drive over and pick him up. Which would be hard the way David works.
Plus, there are several other children in the neighborhood Charlie has grown up with and I know there parents and can trust them to have Charlie over to play or even spend the night.
So each day as we think about moving and finding a new home I am torn as this has been our home for the past 4 years. It was the last place my mom came to.
I feel safe here and have 2 parks close by we can walk to. As well as David’s parents are around the corner as well as a friend from high school is down the street. So if I ever need anything I know either of them would come and help me if David wasn’t home.
So this morning as I prepare to call my dad to wish him a Happy Fathers Day, I just don’t know what to tell him when he ask if he have found a house. Or what we have decided so I could use your advice.
As I know this isn’t the right place for us in a lot of ways. I also know in other ways it is the perfect home for us. So once again I find myself relying fully on God to help me make the right choices for my family.
So, I have a question for you if this was you what would you do and why? Would you move or would you chose to stay here and invest money in a home your renting knowing it isn’t worth purchasing? Even though you have been given enough money to purchase your own home?
So Please Pray for us as we struggle with this decision.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
