In mid March, we received an offer on my parents' house (which wasn't even on the market) and decided to accept it. The closing was in mid-April and so I drove up to take a look at it, one last time. Although I was only at the house for 90 minutes, it was incredibly emotional as a lifetime of memories came flooding through me. I was able to look through a few final items, searching for some old Christmas lights and ornaments. My sister and I took all of my parents photo albums so that we can go through them and make sure that we have all of the memories of their amazing journeys around the world.
While I have yet to come around to the idea of someone else living in the house that was home for more than 45 years, it is time for someone else to start a life there and make the kind of memories that we made.
