Saying Goodbye

Last night, Bentley and I said our final goodbyes to 108 - 6833 Village Green. It was our first home together. I still remember the day I saw the posting of this place on mls.ca and knew in my heart that this was going to be my home. 10-8 were my birthday digits (I know - How corny!). I did lose the place with my first offer to someone else but miraculously, that offer fell through and I got it!

Now, walking through the empty rooms I could not help remember the time this place was the location of mini-parties, family reunions, cook-offs and puppy play-dates. Packed with furniture, personal belongings and up to 5 people at one time, Bentley's barks made a sad echo through the emptiness.

Then I realised that this emptiness was just a doorway into new beginnings and possibilities. To move ahead effortlessly we sometimes need to leave the past behind. But before that, I want to share this quote that best describes what 108 Village Green meant to me:

"Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room." - Harriet Beecher Stowe

Thank you Village Green for being my first home, my shelter and my haven. And also thank you for making it possible to move to my new dream home, The Harris!

On a side note - the place smells a little like an Indian restaurant (smells like curry) *lol* Good luck new buyer! *evil laugh*
