My family recently found out we were going to lose our house. There was a chance we could work something out, but just this weekend my mom received an eviction notice on our door. My family and I have lived in this house for 19 years. This was the house my mom bought with my dad, this is the house my sisters and I grew up in, this is where my grandmother and father lived. And now it's gone. It hurts so much to see 19 years worth of things being packed into boxes. Cupboards and closets that are typically occupied with our belongings are now empty. It's very hard. My sisters and I all come and go and always have a place to sleep there. Our animals have their own, perfect set up. My mom feeds the deer and the birds. She even leaves a dish of cat food on our doorstep for the stray or outdoor cats that occasionally wander through our yard. These are the things she loves to do. She is the nicest, kindest person I've ever met in my life (And I don't just say that because she is my mom). My mother has loss a lot of important things in her life -- her husband, her mother.. She doesn't deserve to lose this. I can't imagine what she feels like through all of this. It's been a very hard year for us. My grandmother (who lived with us) passed away in March. There are so many memories embedded into this house. So many things that can never be replaced. I ask all of you who may read this, please keep us in your thoughts. If any of you know of anyone could help, please contact me. This isn't just a house. This is our life too.
