Hmm, yes, I need a sympathy icon,... *muses* Now that I have 100 of them. ^^
Thanks for the support (and sorry, I meant to reply sooner!). In the typical tradition of my parents, they are now rethinking (again) and will probably hold off until I'm back in fall. ^^; As usual, the reality hits - storage compartments just aren't big enough for all of Dad's art, or at least it'd be too expensive because he'd probably need several. Sigh. So, back to square one... as always...
And yeah, in the end I suppose it's not that bad, and haven't been living in that house fulltime for years, but it's still strange since I've never lived anywhere else aside from Bowen now, and it's got all my childhood memories... otoh, maybe there's something to be said for getting out of there and moving on - can't be too healthy to be forever returning to one's childhood room. ^^; Anyway, who knows... it's gonna happen, but once again not sure when. And my parents have rather different stories about it, lol (Mom: "We're going to be moved out by July 1st." Dad: "Well, we're not sure now, maybe in Fall... can't find a storage place for the art..." etc etc and so it goes). Course, maybe all be a moot point if the North Van district kicks us out... which has been a "threat" since we moved in 20 years ago, but might actually be happening now since they just came and inspected the house and other nearby houses to decide if they're going to kick us out, tear them down, and build more warehouses. woe. I'll believe it when I see it, though, they're been saying that for years.

Re: Sorry I don't really have a sympathy icon. Know of any?
