One of the saddest days of my life was when we had to move out of our nice home. My parents were divorcing and the house was put up for sale. I stayed with my mom and she got to keep 5 of the 20 acres, which included the barn (that was a good thing because we were very involved with showing our horses by then). We had a small brick house built on those 5 acres and that's where I lived until I went off to college. My dad moved just 2 miles away so we did get to visit.
