The house has been in our family for many years. (since the mid 1800's) This is the first time that someone in our family won't own it. Grandpa died in 1991 and Nannie died in 1999. My uncle has lived there and he let the house get into great disrepair. (he is now in a care home at 69) Anyway, the only way to save the house was to sell it. No one could afford to fix it. But on the bright side, some very good people bought it and they will fix it up really nice.
It is hard to let 524 go but it also has taught me that the important things in life don't change. I will always treasure my memories and time spent at 524 5th Avenue.

What sweet sweet memories you must have there. Did you take pictures of the inside?
We have been going through the same thing with dads house....fortunately a family member may buy and repair it. Love having those memories
It's always hard to say these goodbyes, isn't it? But at least you like the people who bought it. That always helps me a lot.

When my grandma died we had to sell her little farm and it was a very hard thing to do. I know what you're going through! Mimi
I know how you feel. I'm sorry.
It is really hard to let go of the people and places that you love. My mom just died last month so I'm going through a similar sad time.
Just remember the wonderful memories and times that you shared with your grandma. They will stay with you forever.
You are certainly going through a lot right now.
Take time to breath, and focus on the good times and good memories.... it will help soften the sadness.
Take a lot of pictures too. Maybe make a mini scrapbook with the pictures, and your favorite memories.
