Beautiful! I understand your attachment to your home. It’s not just a ‘house.’ I am starting to look at what has to be fixed here before, like you, I move to my next, smaller abode. Well written, Brenda! ❤️
Thanks, Karen. It is a struggle. There's so much to fix, update, and upgrade here. And where would I go? I'm not interested in assisted living or anything like that. My entire life in Indiana, I've lived here--but it is a lot to maintain.
As always, giving a new meaning to something we can take for granted. For me, I've lived in my house longer than I've lived anywhere. And I have hone through many milestones in the last 25 years. But I still remember the events from my previous house when we were neighbors. It's all good.
It was fun being neighbors. That's my other conundrum. I LOVE my neighborhood. The people are friendly and nice without being intrusive and nosy. It is comfortable.
Don’t be hard on yourself. I “read” gone, because I know you. That’s what friends do. (There was a typo in the blog post. I fixed it last night, but 200+ subscribers received the email. It proves-my blog is not AI-generated. I’m human, not perfect.)
Has it REALLY been that long? Seems like yesterday our little ones were playing together as we were adjusting to life “on the prairie”. Your home is beautiful and you’ve done an excellent job of describing how much it means to you. Your story lives on wherever you choose to lay your head, my friend ❤️
Thanks, my friend. I can't believe I still live in Indiana (wow). Now, I've lived here longer than growing up in the Chicago suburbs. Dylan is here and I love watching him grow up, so I'm likely to stay even longer than anticipated. During the winters I long to move back to Arizona-this year was brutal. You are right, the memories stay with us. Good hearing from you.
You have brought your home to life. I read it as I would not by getting acquainted through a photo or physical description but by the depth you reach to the souls of your relationship.

(((Sigh))) wish I could edit that typo!

Time flies! I had my first baby later that same year. It feels like forever ago, yet yesterday
I agree!! Time flies (sort of).

Thanks so much, Ellen! I am attached to my home although, I often think of downsizing to a smaller place.
