After two LONG months of having my first house on the market, I was finally getting some interest in it and received an offer. After bantering back and forth for quite some time, we decided on a price and my realtor called me and said, "congratulations! You just sold your house!"
This has been what I've wanted since losing Robo. We had many conversations about death, and one of them was what we were going to do with the house if one of us passed. I told him that if he passed, I was going to sell the house and move back in with my mom. He told me that if I passed, he was going to sell the house and move back in with MY mom. Why my Mom? Well his explanation was, "she's going to need someone to take care of her." He truly had a heart of gold!
What a step in moving out of the house. Thankfully, when we were still in the shock/numb period, Robo's Mom and brothers came over and we went through all of his clothes and shoes. They ended up taking them all back home with them, so that stuff was already out. but EVERYTHING else was left ....
Last weekend, after a crazy week that consisted of the first week of school AND a home and radon inspection ... Mom and I decided to begin the packing process .. starting in the kitchen.
This weekend, thanks to My mom, sister, sister's boyfriend, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and another amazing friend, we were able to pack up most of the house in boxes and at least move all the boxes here. All that's left is furniture and the garage ... which must get done next weekend.
Closing is August 22 .... a day that I look forward to and dread at the same time .... It just means another Chapter will be ending ... Our first house. The house that we bought together and where we were going to start our lives together with marriage and babies ...
Breaks my heart!
That's the most simple and perfect way to put it. We did have wonderful memories there which I will hold onto forever.
Just have to thank Robo for an amazing birthday present this year (only a week and a half late). I know he had a hand in selling the house right around my birthday.
I love you Robo to infinity and beyondest! Can't wait to see you again ......
