Our search for a new house ended today. It will be a new beginning, a new settlement. It ends months of unsettled decisions.
The opportunity that was bestowed upon us made us to review our future strategy. 20 years ago, we bought our first property and it had served us well. We didn't expect to move out. We always felt that we could live here a little longer - at least for the next few years till one of us reach 55. Then, it would be the time where we ought to plan for our retirement.
We built our nest in Hertford. It would always be a place that we shall remember very dearly and a place that we MUST, as we moved ahead, looked back with gratitude. We grew up there - we were hardly 30 then. There were many stories, many events, many twists and turns, many laughters and sorrows too, many guests, many parties .. - above all, we managed to keep each other company for bad and for good. It was a place where human foundation was built on.
Hertford, we will always love you.
You were a blessed sanctuary for us. With your shelter, together we grew - where each day filled with life lessons. You were the abundance behind our peace and joy.
