Dear Joan, oh my goodness! I absolutely love your home and moving stories. They are the stories of our life! They define us and they don't define us!! I have written a small series of Stories of Home and you might be mortified! God usually challenged us with "Love Thy Neighbor" if you get my drift. That house you moved to this time! Oh what a mid-century charmer! So glad you had the beautiful memories. That's what counts. Also sticking together as a family and walking forward through the storms. You should be so proud. Love you. Love that you're sharing your stories. They are so meaningful and honest. oxox

What a hard story to tell, but dreams do not always end the way we dreamed they would. Growth comes from such stuff as this. (I hate the truth of that poorly worded truth, but we do grow from such times.) Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
