Sign here....

I signed on the dotted line to accept an offer on my house. They have a couple of weeks to change their minds so it's not a done deal but getting closer. It is a weird feeling. I look at the trees I planted as "sticks" now almost full grown and beautiful, think about why I planted what where, to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, the shutters

well shucks,

[sawguy]

if we boot Tiffy out and Daniel is willing to live in an unheated/uncooled frumpy trailer in Brookdale, you could come down here and take care of my daddy. ;)

heh

I know those feelings however, when in 1983 dad sold my childhood home "out from under my 23 yo feet" I took photos, momentos, walk thru the empty house tours, regretted, resented, resigned to moving on in my life.

12524 Paseo Flores Saratoga, CA 95070 will always remain as my "home", to which I cannot EVER return as it has been razed and a new building erected in its place.

That is sad that it's gone completely. At least I can revisit if the urge strikes.
The trailer is sounding good right now! ;)

How long have you lived there?

And in this market, you are SO fortunate to find a buyer.

Since August 1994. 13 years seems to be a trend. My marriage was 3 weeks shy of 13 years, my son was almost 13 when his Dad died, now moving at 13 years...Wonder what that means????

That is great news! Once a decision like yours is made and you start looking FORWARD, it can be dificult to keep the details of actually making the change from bogging you down. I am so impressed that you have moved forward so quickly and with such focus! (I would still be standing in the middle of the living room - surrounded by piles "to sort" without a clue where to start!) I know it is hard - physically and emotionally. That is why I am so impressed with you!

This "getting a life," just might catch on! I USED to have one but I have forgotten where I left it! Still, I know I can have it back when I want it.... You have "done your time" and I am so happy that you will now have the chance to put yourself and Daniel first. I am really excited for you and your fresh start!

HUGS!

To be honest, if it had not been for the constant pushing from my sister and my Mom, I would still be wondering what to do. Thanks for the vote of confidence. HUGZ

[heartmart]

LOL! That's what sisters and Moms are FOR!

I've been finding out lately that as hard as it is, moving on also brings with it sooooo much freedom! It's a great excuse for letting go of a lot of old baggage that may have been holding you back. The thing is -you never know how much these things are holding you back until you get the chance to let them go.
I know you're a fighter and you're going to be fine!! :-)

[ladychatter]

Looking forward to freedom and all that entails!

It's interesting that you would take pics now for the memories. I wouldn't do that. I might drive by 5, 10 or 20 years later just to see what the place looks like.

I've done that with my childhood homes, though 2 of the three are now gone.

yf,

I have pics through the years, but now it uncluttered and "tidy". That is what I want to remember. Hugz
