[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 169577, member: 3704"] Dreamer, What a beautiful story and many Congrats on your coming "grandmotherhood"! I can only imagine just how excited you are. Homes are so central in people's lives, and I know that you really made that gentleman's day by letting him walk down memory lane. Our home just passed the 100 year mark and the same family lived here for 60 years. We've been here 17 years and thus far 4 people have knocked on the door and asked to see the house. Each and every time the house was a wreck, LOL, but I knew it was important and opened the door wide to them. It is obvious to me that this house was filled with love from the very beginning. I could sense it when we first looked at the house. Each person who has visited has told us a little more of the story, and each one has cried before they left - just remembering the good times. We're trying to keep all the good vibes here that we can... One interesting note. We have always had lots of cats attracted to our yard - all the neighborhood "outdoor" cats and many who have taken up semi-permanent residence. I always thought they came, well, because we love cats and we have lots of wild life in our yard. But our last visitor told us that her grandad adored cats and fed dozens of them every day on the balcony outside his bedroom window (this is now easy child's room that he has sadly left) .... We've been wondering.... do the cats have some kind of genetic memory? I hope that someday in the distant future the new owners of our house will open the door wide to our sons if they come by and ask... [/QUOTE]
