Reply to comment by Life_Roll8667 in My great aunt is selling her house, the one I grew up in. It’s falling apart and she has to move. Today is a very hard, sad day for me. I found this picture of me in the front yard with our old mustang in the 90s. I’m in tears. by Life_Roll8667

Yeah, it’s like a bunch of things are simply disappearing before your eyes. That it can’t be resurrected. You miss these things. I feel that way about my childhood home. It’s a terrible feeling. Is your auntie okay?

She’s okay, she’s sad too I can tell. But we both know it has to happen. Most of the house is over run with black mold. She’s been living with me and my kids for about 3 months now. She’s moving in with her son in Georgia for a bit and then coming back to help me with the kids later this year. So she will be back in forth.

Before it was my aunt Rosie’s house it was my aunt Arlene’s house. And when she passed it went to Rosie. So there is many generations and memories through this house. And yes it’s the fact it’s all disappearing… you hit the nail on the head. I had a nightmare last night, woke up in a panic this morning and was hysterical. Been a rough day for me

I so understand. Your family sounds so close and the fact you guys rally around one another is so wonderful. As sad as it is, I can promise you that your family will have new memories. It sounds really corny, but you will have a tapestry of good things to look back upon. Give your auntie a hug from me. Xo
