The site of my first home, 57 years ago, is now a bookshop near the beach.
My sister-in-law gifted me a Harry Potter there.

That's so sweet of her! What a wonderful way to remember. *Heart*

It makes me sad when I go past my grandparents' former address. It was a beautiful home! But the house has been torn down and there's now a fast food restaurant there. Progress...
Schnujo's NOT Doing NaNoWriMo Author Icon - My childhood home is now a dive. The yard is junky and the whole thing looks uncared for. It was for sale a few years back and I was able to go through it online. I cried and cried. I have so many memories of my mom before she died at 28, and many good memories, too, playing outside, making forts, our childhood Christmases, and so much more. It's so sad for me to see.

We've been thinking about moving in the next five years. We've raised our children here, planted over 100 trees, watched our grandkids learn to swim in our pond and ice skate in the winter. Sooo many memories and we're still making them. I worry about how sad it will be when we move. Not just for me, but my children and grandchildren, too. Who will buy it...and will they cut down all the trees? Take care of the house? Maybe I should think about something else. *Laugh*

Cubby~Packing Author Icon - My mom's house isn't being well cared for, either. In fact, it's bad enough that my former neighbors have mentioned it to me a few times without me even asking about the house.

THANKFUL SONALI Love my family - It sounds like your situation, at least for the time being, is the best outcome. I'm glad you had a nice time with your sister-in-law and have a lovely memory to take back.

That's so great! I have lots of cousins, too, and we were all quite close, growing up. ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
How lovely that they all agreed to pose and be remembered together. This photo is part of your heritage now.

Are you watching the fireworks?
We got there before you. *Hearto* The Year 2568 in Thailand.

Last year I was too far from the fireworks; this year, too close. *Shock2*
