Today, I let go of my moms house forever. The realtor said it is - TopicsExpress

Today, I let go of my moms house forever. The realtor said it is just a building, but how could he know that the house is alive with memories? It was the place where hungry people came to be filled with my moms meatballs, Italian wedding soup and homemade Easter bread with raisins. Its where my dads friends gathered on opening morning of hunting season and later to tell stories of the one that got away. Its where my dad grew his peach trees and his garden,which produced sweet fruit and amazing tomatoes served with oil and vinegar. Its where lonely people came to laugh at my brothers stories and it provided temporary housing to countless people who needed a place to stay. Because it bordered a Little League field, the house saw thousands of baseball games and distributed hundreds of aspirins and ice packs to injured players. Plus, it was a place where we celebrated Christmases and birthdays and everything in-between....all in an atmosphere of love and family. So, I will cherish the memories and carry the spirit of that home forever in my heart.
