What a wonderful story and piece of writing. The house looks so so majestic! I know exactly what you mean when you narrate your initial thoughts. And I'm so happy you let yourself get on that magic carpet with your family. Keep writing your amazing stories. Maybe you should also do a video blog v-log?

You reminded me it's time to try to come out of chronic sadness and combat.

I actually have interior design things to tell you when we speak. Just that we had the house painted. Doug's house. Today the door was done—it's a bright dark yet not dark red called "Radish," and I keep staring at it when I pass it by. Have you ever watched Caroline Winkler on YouTube?

My guilty pleasure is interior design videos, by millennials (!) on YouTube. But I'm going to lose the "guilty," as it is all connected to joy, living, happiness, memories, all the things we want.

Beautiful piece. And congratulations to all of you!!!

Houses from the turn of the century were made for living in,and families and to stand the test of time. Looks like a beautiful find!
