Moving House Today...
25 Answers
...not me, but The Parents. Theirs first and only move in their 61 year marriage. Only one house in 62 years - wow. All 4 of we children born and brought up there.
They are moving into a brand new bungalow and not before time - dad being 84 and the stairs, large garden and 3 bedroomed house has long been too much for him to manage on his own (mum gave up housework, cooking & any form of physical exercise years ago. But let's not go into that one...)
It's going to be a tough day - physically for dad, emotionally for mum. It should be exciting for them, its a lovely bungalow, but no dubt she'll turn it into one of her weeping dramas.
Home is where the heart is. And my dad deserves a rest - long before the Ultimate Rest of all.

It's often when you see your house emptied of furniture you realize it was just that; a house. When they see their new bungalow with their furniture inside then they'll realise they're at home. I wish them all the best in their new surroundings. it's the noises (or quiet) you have to get used to to feel perfectly at home.

Its dad i worry about more; he's been doing far too much for years

Good luck. Moving house is said to be the next most stressful thing after divorce, but your parents have missed that ! Mind, you never know; after a day hulking furniture about and being told "No, not in there, in THERE, and not there; move it to the other side!", your father may be ready for that too :)
Hope your parents are very happy in their new place, and for many years to come.
