Sigh....
My childhood house was torn down today
We had a 5 room victorian home on Chicago's northside. It needed work (it was just my mom and me and we didn't know how to fix major stuff), but it was a beautiful home. My best friend (who still is lives over there) called me and told me. I am really sad. I called my mom and she is sad too- but I feel like it hasn't hit me.
2004 was rough. My mom sold our house (but we didn't have to move out until one year later in 2005). Shortly after, my first car died (also a car my fam had when I was a kid). I used to cry, cry, cry. I kind of have move on, but now that my house is GONE- it feels like my heart is sore.
My childhood cats died in 2006 and 2007. THat was a shit sandwich to deal with. Thankfully my specktra peeps had such encouraging words.
Anyways, it feels like- here I am making my new life in Texas, about to get married, buy my own first house, and I was forgetting about my old childhood life. So maybe that's why i feel it hasn't hit me so hard yet. I am crying, but not boohooing. My thoughts feel jumbled so I apologize in advance if this doesn't make sense.
