KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On a recent weekday morning, Tom Jackson wrapped up a clay hand print made in preschool by his youngest child, Avery, locked it in a portable safe and placed it into a large cardboard box.
The Jacksons are in the throes of sifting through the Kansas City house they have lived in for the past 15 years. They have removed their family photos and packed away essentials like pots and pans.
“The kids are like, ‘Wow, it’s starting to feel weird.’ It’s not our home anymore because all the personal things are gone,” said his wife, Debi Jackson.
