Finally

The house was demolished today.

 There is nothing there but old memories piled in the cellar waiting to be hauled off by someone who knows nothing of them. Over 60 years of bringing up a family, who have since brought up their family and are now watching their children bring up their families. Wow that's hard to get your mind around let alone my words. None of this is easy to express. But there are 5 beautiful great grandchildren who belong to the future of this family and that makes it all feel better. 

So today is a celebration of happiness, of creating a life that counts for something so much bigger than us. I want to hold on to the memories of the past but I shall keep them in a quiet place and  I'll go visit them when I'm tired in the late afternoon. 

But mostly I'll be too busy being in the now and being happy. More to come....
