# 1 > THE HOUSE WENT TO A NICE WOMAN from down the street. My parents sold it to her, which meant they also sold her the garage, because that's how house sale work. They live at that address for 24 years. A sprawling one-floor ranch in Louisville, Kentucky, sheltered by an enormous and arcing elm. The tree covered most of the roof, a trunk so large that I couldn't wrap my arms around it, even as an adult. It was there when we moved in, the fall that I started sixth grade, from a smaller house across town.I moved out at 18, on my way to college. Mom and Dad left this summer, moving to Seattle. Where I live, with my wife and two small girls.
