The Heart Remembers (2011)
“Thankfully Rob hadn’t been called back to Atlanta for that job interview until all of the big items at the house had been dealt with. Only a couple of closets remained for Jake to clean out alone. But it was slower—and more difficult—going than he’d expected.
It seemed that Maggie had been right. Even though he’d cut most of his ties with this small house and the town where he grew up, for some reason he found it difficult to be in his childhood home for the last time. He’d come to realize that... though his ties to this place were few, they were stronger than he’d suspected. The process of cutting his roots with such finality was unsettling.
As he and Rob had pored over the old scrapbooks, sometimes laughing, sometimes lapsing into quiet, melancholy remembrance, the good days had come back to Jake with an intensity that startled him. The days when they’d all lived here together under this roof, happy and content. The days when he and his dad were not only father and son, but friends.MoreLess
