After nearly 50 years, the house I grew up in, and where my parents raised 6 nearly normal children, is for sale. Now that both of my parents have passed away we decided to sell the house. It was what they wanted. It was one of the few tangible things they could leave us.
My parents were very selfless. They gave everything away. My mother, Doris, was always giving gifts to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, neighbor kids, kids at church, and friends and family. My father would invest his time and money to help other people which meant he had very little left for himself.
They weren't rich but they seemed like it. But now it's the end of an era. The homestead, the only house I had lived in as a kid, is finally up for sale. Thanks to my sisters, Judy and Barb, the house is looking pretty good. Yes, there is still a lot that can be done but we would rather have it sell quickly. If you want to take a look at the house, click on the headline above. Good bye house.
