Many have huge gaping holes in the walls too. It's like people get mad because it's being repo'd by the bank and take it out on the house....presumably so the bank won't get much money for it.<br /><br />but I can tell you that with a bit of hard work a trashed repo can reclaim it's former glory and become another family's wonderful home.MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-9574196379445237402009-07-15T01:23:40.028-05:002009-07-15T01:23:40.028-05:00I know it had to hurt your heart to see such destr...I know it had to hurt your heart to see such destruction where love once abound.

I know it is just a house and stuff but you like us put a lot of work and love into it. We live in an established neighborhood that families have lived here since the 1930's. We have one house now that is not owned by part of the original family and this house and yard is an eyesore. I just don't understand why people don't want to take care of things.Mariehttp://marieshomeandhobbies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-16388562160303823722009-07-14T12:48:27.341-05:002009-07-14T12:48:27.341-05:00I am so sorry you had to experience this.

I said to Jason it is so sad these people loosing their home. One can see they loved staying there. The buyers-whom we know- I know will not take care of this house. <br />I was wondering how the owners will feel if they see the house in a years time.rethahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484633298560719999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-23762874811123746672009-07-14T11:05:52.941-05:002009-07-14T11:05:52.941-05:00I'm sorry - that is tough, especially when you...I'm sorry - that is tough, especially when you took such good care of it - you hope others will also.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979209821976003043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-6603478435408548022009-07-14T09:34:07.682-05:002009-07-14T09:34:07.682-05:00That is sad to see the condition of a home that ha...That is sad to see the condition of a home that had such meaning to you torn up and trashed.

After we moved from PA in '03 and sold our home there, our daughters had driven by to see what it was like with the new people living there. The pastures and garden were all grown up, our honey-house (42' x 112') had doors standing open and junk and weeds grown round, and in our once beautiful yard was a mud track and ramps for monster-wheeled pick-ups.<br />They asked me to never go back there to see it.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627362326166805915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-24263144831004963382009-07-14T05:54:33.224-05:002009-07-14T05:54:33.224-05:00It is so hard to see things like that happen.

They really needed to downsize, but the other house is just 2 blocks away so they can't always avoid going past.<br /><br />It's hard not to hold on to the house, but just hold on to those memories.<br /><br />(to answer your comment here, I wore the shoes that night with slacks, but I also wear them with skirts - they just dress up everything!!!!)Momma Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585669348993487403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-44188869815259793852009-07-14T02:00:08.444-05:002009-07-14T02:00:08.444-05:00So sorry to hear this.

It was beautiful and I can tell that you and Mickey took such good care of it, and I'm sure your Mom must've enjoyed it as well. I know the Lord will teach you from this, and I imagine that you will ask Him to do just that, and for that I admire you.

I have often wondered how I would feel if we ever moved from our home now....and then to return years later and see that it wasn't loved as we loved it...I know would make me really sad!

I've always wondered what others did with that space. But I know for a fact that I don't want to go in there because it's been lived in by so many people since then and I can only imagine the condition it's in.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-44852667563426368822009-07-13T18:36:08.668-05:002009-07-13T18:36:08.668-05:00YES IT DOES HURT EVEN WHEN WE THINK OF THE WONDERF...YES IT DOES HURT EVEN WHEN WE THINK OF THE WONDERFUL HOME THE LORD HAS PREPARED FOR US. i SUPPOSE THAT IS JUST BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN.michellehttp://minpinmom.wprdpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-28696106417912211582009-07-13T18:30:41.044-05:002009-07-13T18:30:41.044-05:00It looks like a beautiful home.
