My growing up house closes Friday
We moved there the day before grade 9 started, it was my grandparents' house before that... they built it in the early 40s, and where my dad and his siblings were raised. ?When I was in University my grandma moved back in with us for care until she died. ?
The only "thing" about the house for me are the sour cherry trees in the backyard, and I am getting the smaller one of the two delivered to me on Saturday. ?I think my parents are a bit hurt that I wasn't rushing to visit the house one last time, or put up any sort of fuss about the sale. ?
Their new house is lovely, but in a crazy rural area where we don't know anyone else. ?It's all just strange yet boring. ?Maybe I'll be more melancholy on Saturday when I know it's really gone?

Re: My growing up house closes Friday
My childhood house sold a few years back, I wasn't really that sad, but I do miss it over holidays and other occasions when we all used to be together there. For the most part though I don't really care.
Although I will say going to my parents new house has never felt like "home" since I never lived there. Oh well... that's life I guess!
I think it's cool you're getting one of the trees!
I thought this said 'My grow op houses closes Friday'
Glad you are getting one of the trees. Boooo to the house selling.
?
I generally don't like to talk about that business online, but that house closes next Tuesday. ?It's like a real estate tornado around here. ?
:P?
lol @ Jen...
I love that you took one of the trees, that's a great way to keep the house with you!
I think I'd be sad if my parents ever sell the house they are in now... but I can understand being not as attached as your parents are, esp your dad. What a history to be leaving.
Will you be transferring any *plants* from your grow op house as well? LOL
I still occasionally drive by the house I grew up in - when I'm in the area (not so often anymore). I miss it, but not exceedingly. We moved when I was 17, so I have a lot of memories in my parents' current house too.
And I'm with Sarah, it's gotta be tough on your dad with all that family history in the house.
