Thank you. She sold it to me for the 2018 appraised value. It appraised higher now of course but said the house has been a blessing to her at a time when she needed it and wanted to pass the blessing along. This is a former co-worker and a gal I go to church with so I had good connections. I feel very blessed and fortunate.

I know that too well. I do commercial real estate development/buys/sells and some residential closings as my job at the attorneys office I work for. I know I've stepped into something so good. So thankful for the opportunity.

In fact there's no realtor and no attorney fees because I'm handling the buyer and seller sides of the transaction myself:D

Afternoon Pops and everyone.

Well, it's a Monday, and it's the anniversary of my loss of my sweetie. I think the fact that it's been a true Monday has hit harder, and I feel somewhat guilty that I've taken this day in stride and am finally 'okay' when this day comes. A sign I'm moving on to the next phase of my life I suppose...

Half the people at work are boo-hooing over a local attorney that passed away unexpectedly this morning. Personally, it doesn't affect me because this guy never treated me like anything but crap so I find it hard to feel remorse for losing him. I do feel bad for his family that saw some other side of him enough to know him as a loving person, but for those of us who received the other side of his personality... nothing. Sad, really. I don't want to live a life that has me leaving people in my wake and feeling about me like I feel about him.

A good day for self-reflection and analysis.

Hope all is good for everyone and that you are all safe and well.

Yeah, that's my goal in life: When I leave, I don't want anyone to be okay with it.

Each anniversary, birthday and other significant days will lessen in impact which is why the time heals all wounds came about but that's not entirely true because it will scab over but there are things that can peel that back, not rip it off, but still peel it back enough to feel the sting.

I don't know exactly when it happened, Jan, or even if I was aware of it but I went from "I can't believe she's gone" to "she is gone" at some point. I still recall and remember those special days, like her birthday next week, an April Fool's baby, but now I don't focus as much on her absence and more on when she was here.

The best day that I realized after I lost her was when I no longer saw her as she was dying but the most alive she ever looked. Took me longer that most from what I've gathered but it did happen and when you realize you are healing, it is a magnificent feeling because you know now this isn't how the things will be from here on out.

Do not feel guilty that you are healing and do not go too far down that self-analysis road. Sometimes, we are better off just to accept our good fortune in stride and not question it. I am happy for you, you should be happy for you as well.

I think the best advice I can offer is, "Feel however you think they'd want you to feel."

If that concept doesn't free you to accept it and allow some happiness, or at least contentment to sleep in, then either you're wrong about them now or you were wrong about them then.
