One less button to be pushed

On the way home from the HSA meeting on Sunday, I noticed that that house had finally sold. It's been for sale for most of a year, I think, maybe longer...noticing the sign gone, and different cars in the drive, and the name removed from the rock by the driveway, it's like releasing a breath I held for too long.

I haven't checked lately to see if He still lives in the area (the house belonged to his parents), but somehow I feel safer now.

closure is always nice.

Yeah.

Probably should have let someone "take care of Him" at that party in Lawrence, years ago. Would have eased the worries about seeing Him again, if nothing else.

One of two reasons I moved to KC 21 year ago, to be far, far, away from those horrors.

This one has slid, over the years, from horror to merely nightmare. And it was a long time ago.

Still...I knew it was close when we bought our house, just hadn't realized it was only 2 miles away, and I've been afraid of running into Him at Walmart or the grocery store the whole time we've lived here.

Mine stopped being even a nightmare years ago. But at the time I moved it was truly a horror. I'm glad you are getting some greater places of peace.

Me too. I like sleeping through the night, without nightmares. I like not jumping at shadows. It's a much more restful way to live.

I'm much better than I was even a year ago,so this isn't as big a deal as it might have been, say, when we bought the house. But it's still nice to know, that little extra bit of peace.
