No, sir, away; a papaya war is on!

Parents:
Never ever ever ever move if your kids still live with you. The exception is if assasins are after yoru family and you use the Witness Relocation Program. Otherwise, you have no excuse. You may think it is better for the family, but unless your children hate their current location, do not move.
There are positive aspects of moving of course. Your kids may go to a better school, you may get a better job etc etc. Through personal experience the author has found that leaving a place with real memories is not worth it. Your new home may be fabulous, but it takes your away from your life. I've found in these two weeks, that I love it here. I love it more than I remembered. And I don't want to go back.
Parents:
If you live in a place where the sycamore trees tower over everything, where the garden is always full, and when it isn't, you have home canned food; if the majority of you family lives within an hour's drive of you, and everyone gets along for the most part, if "The buffalo roam...and the skies are not cloudy all day."
THEN DO NOT LEAVE!!! By all means take a month long vacation so they can apprieciate it. If you do move, then when visiting your old home, your eldest child will climb the sycamore tree and contemplate not coming down. She'll be torn in two.
And that hurts.
