All of my memories of my grandparents are tied to this house because they never lived anywhere else. I even made friends with the neighbours' daughters next door - we went to each others' birthday parties and their parents are still living there now. I remember them watching each others' places when they went on vacations... I remember so many things here. I don't want to forget anything, but I know I already have because there are sooooo many moments - way to many to remember them all! But everything I think of brings a smile to my face. I hope that Holly is not so young that she won't remember one or two things about this place & her great-grandparents. I had told her a while ago that the house would be sold... She asked me 2 things: "Where will Poh-Poh (my mom) live?" and "where will we have Sunday dinners if we can't go to Parker Street?"
As usual, we had a great potluck dinner, celebrated a birthday or two or three, and Holly had a great time with her cousins!
It's sad to see the house go, but I try to think of another family making happy memories here for many years. Thank you, 5560 Parker Street, we'll miss you!
