Losing The House You Grew Up In

In recent times, I have been dealing with losing the house I grew up in. My grandparents have owned this house for over 60 years. I grew up in it from til I was 12 almost 13. Throughout the years, the whole family would come here to celebrate the holidays such as thanksgiving, christmas, easter and other times. Many stories I didn't know about my grandpa. I could understand why he was in tears at nursing home. I have never seen my grandpa ever cry in all of the time I have known him.

In all the time I have known this house as my family's house. Many memories have came flooding into my mind. Many good times and bad happened there. It feels like a part of myself has ended considering the heritage of family.

My grandpa didn't think he would live this long. We all thought they would have been gone years ago. However they have outlived all of their siblings and parents. Can you picture outliving all of your siblings, and other family? It is a challenge to deal with considering, the family being in their life is all they new for decades. Have you ever experienced this? If so, I'd like to hear your feed back.
