Wow Joy - you are masterful at writing...thanks for this beautiful lesson!

The story - ugh - happy, sad, touching, nostalgic...what a house! I saw it all - you painted it in gorgeous detail, and I can only imagine what those memories mean to you.

I hope your friend is happy...I'm sure she thinks of you. I hope you two one day reconnect - if even for one more conversation!

Thanks for sharing...I enjoyed this read! 🥰
