Packing up our stuff is like replaying bits of our life.

Looking for a box big enough to fit the mixer, I fished one out from our stash under the bed. It’s got several layers of labels in magic marker, on top and bottom, arranged so a different one shows with every method of folding it up.

Berck was packing up the bedroom. He put a pile of hats in a box, taped it up, crossed out “BOOKS” and wrote “Hats.” The next box he used said, “HATS.”

As far as I can tell, I’ve transcribed them in chronological order. The first is from Berck’s dad’s office moving from Daphne to Longview. The last was to here.

Berck thought that box was too flimsy, so he gave me a sturdier one. This box makes us laugh whenever we see it. I’d asked my brother to be as specific as possible when he was writing the contents of my move from Dallas. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a spellchecker.
