[quote=Anonymous]I’m really sorry, OP. That’s always something I worry about during moves. Hopefully they are in one last box that is hidden somewhere? Know that even if you’d never moved, things could have broken or gone missing. We’ve lost beloved things due to my DH’s clumsiness, construction mishaps, and once, a squirrel that rampaged through the house.

Here’s a tiny positive move story: years ago we were doing a cross-country move and had very limited car space because we had to drive with a large dog and make a lot of stops. I had a beloved houseplant (succulent and quite hardy) that ended up not fitting in the car.

The movers overheard me talking about it with my DH and they volunteered to put it in their cab. They drove for 3 days and had to store our stuff for a month, but when they pulled up to our new house on the other side of the country, the first thing the driver did was take the plant out of his cab and give it to my DH. I don’t even remember if it was the same driver or if it was passed to a different team, but I always think of them when I look at my now-25 year old houseplant.[/quote]
