The Open House

By Living Room Realty, January 22, 2020

For fourteen years, the big orange house on the corner was an open house for all to enter. No matter how many crossed through the front door, they would always be greeted with a tight hug, a cocktail, a warm heart and whatever food was being prepared. Never turned away, always staying much later than they expected- the home was a safe haven for all. Even with a growing son, the house was far too large for the two of them and she knew it was time to move onto the next chapter. One closer to her growing son’s soon to be high school, one with new opportunities and memories, a new place to call home and start fresh. I watched as the walls were stripped of their color; muted into a house from a home. The pictures removed from the walls- revealing what the sun had not touched in years, and peacefully pulled down memories from the storage space. I am a true believer that it’s the person that makes a house a home.. and so.. with countless hours of laughter and tears, we bid a farewell to the house and thank it for its grace it’s offered many. I love you friend, and I look forward to your next chapter in life, I wish you ease and blessings- for you certainly deserve it.
