Parents Moving..

I'm in my 2nd year of college now, and I will be home for around 6 weeks this summer. For the rest of the summer, I will be out of the country on an intensive summer language program. I will be returning to the United States in late August, staying in my "new home" for 2 days, and then heading back to school.

I just received news that my parents are selling their house because of financial matters and to make my brother's transportation easier ...and will be moving to a different town while I'm away. Until I was 15 (2nd semester sophomore year HS), I lived in the house where my dad grew up. Then, because of changes in work, we moved to a new neighborhood and a new house. It never really began to feel like home until I started returning from college breaks. I planned on moving out after graduating, but I am not really ready to lose the notion of having a 'home' so early on. I will essentially not have a "home"--besides school-- until after graduation.

As parents, do you have any advice for me to make this transition easier? I am being cooperative, but it is really hard to pretend to be completely content.

Thanks to all of you.
