14. I've always lived in this house...

Oct 2017

I'm about to lose it. My husband died on the 13th and without his income, I can't afford to keep it. I know exactly how you feel. I love this house and this neighborhood. It's loud but I like that. I enjoy looking out the window and seeing people of all ages walking their dogs, swimming, playing tennis or basketball or just hanging out. (There's a park across the street). I live in a small city that some think is ugly, but I love it. Most of the young people around here think of me as a cool old lady. I'm 65 and I'm so proud of that title! I enjoy feeding the feral cats and the birds. (For wildlife, I get an occasional skunk).
So, I feel you.
