As some of you know, my grandfather died about 2 months ago. My aunt also lived with him and she's decided to sell the house.
Im really upset, I went there twice a week, I practically grew up in that house, and I just cant see it being sold.
That house is practicallly my childhood, there were countless memories in that house and it upsets me so much to see it being sold. Its basically the 12 years of my life so far and so much has happened there. It upsets me so much, its like the past 12 years are just being wiped away. Im really upset right now.
Sorry if im being a nuisense, its just I needed to let this out. :(

:( I know how you feel, Joseph. It sure is an upsetting thing to see a grandparent's house being sold when it was like a second home.

I'm sorry about your grandpa's passing too. Time will honestly make it all better. You'll always have pictures and nice memories of your grandpa and his house, and someday you'll be able to look back without feeling upset. Promise. :)

I know the feeling. My grandma is selling the house she's lived in all my life. We kind of gently urged her to, because she can't live alone anymore.

I'm sad that house will no longer be a part of my life, but I know that it's for the best.

So I know where you're coming from. It's sad, Rurry, but try to remember, it's just a house. Your memories of it will fade, but as the years go on, your memories of the people in it will still be with you.

Thanks, you guys are making me feel a lot better :)

Excellent post. :nod:

I lived in my childhood house from the time I was born (obviously) til September 1995 (just after I turned 10). It'll have been 10 years ago next year that my dad had to sell my childhood home...I still miss it like crazy. I had so much memories of that house...All gone when he sold it...UGH. Fortunately, my mom's parents lived next door to us [so we were neighbors when we still lived in my childhood home] so I still go up to look at it just for old times...

We're planning on going back to my childhood home soon, just to look around.

Yeah, change isn't easy...but it HAS to happen, even if we don't like the idea of change, unfortunately. You're not the only one that has to go through this...So take comfort in knowing you're not alone. :)

Ive only been in there once since my grandfathers funeral and it was really sad, it was like a second home, I was there every Sunday and Thursday, ive been going there since I was BORN.

I hope my aunt doesnt move too far away that i'll never see her again, cause we were like really close.

great post Miss Vicki! yea pretty much what she said and you may not have the house to go to but you will still have the memories that came with it. :)

That must be hard. My mom used to own these apartments and we lived in one pretty much since i was born. We moved into this house when i was 5 and my mom still worked there, so we visited it alot. When i was 10 we were having family problems and my mom reoccupied the same apartment we lived in before, and made me and my brother stay there most of the time so she could see us but she wouldn't have to be near my dad (long story). it was cool.. we stayed in the same bedroom we had before and everything. At the end of the year when i was 11 she sold the apartments and we've never been back. we drive by it sometimes and it saddens me that it doesnt belong to us anymore. my earliest childhood memories were all there, i can vividly remember crawling around the floor before i could walk, getting lost outside and looking for my mom etc. We still live in this house (it's been 9 and a half years) and my dad says in 2-3 years he's moving somewhere else, like tucson or something, and selling the house. me and my brother will be 18-19 by then so we could move wherever but i can't stand the thought of this house being someone else's, i mean i've been here every day since i was 5, and i just have so many memories of it. we're the first people to ever live in it, and IT'S OURS. around that time i'm planning to get signed as a solo artist so i'll have to move to a bigger city and do alot of traveling anyway.. but i don't know how i'm gonna handle it.
