Pause For Thought
From Dave Tomlinson,Ìýwriter and vicar at large:
Ìý
The first time we moved home was a doddle. We shifted from number 48 to number 34 – in the same road. I was young and energetic. We didn’t even hire a van – just me and a couple of mates manhandling wardrobes, beds and sets of drawers along the street. It was all done in a couple of hours. And there we were – me, my wife Pat, three kids and Berger our Old English Sheepdog cuddled up in front of the fire watching our favourite TV show. Result!
Ìý
Our recent move was more traumatic. After 19 years in a north London vicarage, we headed south of the river. But once we’d shifted some of our furniture, the house sprang a leak bringing down ceilings and soaking brickwork. So for three months we were left ‘camping out’ back in the vicarage.
Ìý
This basically prolonged the agony of leaving a house to which we were very attached – and where we had had such amazing fun. There had been many tears there for sure – hours of planning funerals with bereaved folk, supporting people in pain, or trying to help troubled couples find a way forward (or helping them part peacefully).
Ìý
But it was also a house of fun. There were parties and celebrations, wettings of baby’s’ heads and the like – and lots and lots of laughter. I remember organising a strawberries and bubbly event in the garden to raise money for the church where I drank too much bubbly and ended up bidding £500 for an item on auction – in the hope that this would get things off to a flying start. No one else bid!
Ìý
Finally, we shifted south, just before Christmas. Still very sad to go, on our last day, I decided to make vacuuming the place a pilgrimage. Room-by-room I sucked up the final remains of our life there, in each space recalling memories sad or happy (mostly happy). It was a good goodbye.
Ìý
Leaving places times or relationships behind is often traumatic. There is no easy way. But I found memory and gratitude a healer – and a source of fuel for the journey ahead.
