Hello, lovelies!
Today has been a very emotional day. More so than I expected.
This spring my mother has been renovating her late grandmother's old house, and today she moved in. Today I said goodbye to my childhood home.
It was weird seeing the house so empty, when just a little while ago it was full of stuff, and full of life. I have so many wonderful memories from there, and those will never go away, of course, but still it was very sad to leave. Even though I haven't lived there in five years, my mom has, and the house was always there for me and my brother to go back to when we felt lonely and wanted company.
I lived there for 19,5 years. My mother lived there for almost 25 years. When we were kids, my mom attached glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceilings in the bedrooms, and when the lights went out, we fell asleep under those stars. I could go on and on about my happy childhood memories, but you get the picture, right? I'm very blessed to have had such a great childhood and a happy home, and I don't take those things for granted.
My mom felt it was time to move on, and seeing her so happy and content now makes me feel happy, too. The old home was our home, and her current house is her home. It's time for another family to make memories in the old home.
The new house has apple trees on the yard, that are in full bloom now. I'll go steal some apples in the fall.
Now we have another home to go to :) I can't wait to make new memories there!
