My Mom's House is SOLD

Today I did some last cleaning for the new owners. Over the weekend we grabbed the last items and my plan was to sweep and vacuum today.

I took selfies in the new spaces - they truly look nothing like they did when my mom was alive. 

Everything has been cleaned, painted, and updated to the best of our abilities in the last few months.

And there's my buffet. LOL That furniture piece was definitely not there when my mom was alive. I have to say, I'm not really sad at all, it's more bittersweet maybe? Like the house hasn't looked like her house since I called 9-1-1 back in February. Once the firefighters started moving furniture at the time of the emergency, there was no way in hell that house felt like my mom's anymore. And truthfully, I've never been in love with it like my oldest sister. I'm so happy that a family with young children has bought it. I was tempted to write a letter with a few parental hints but my children wouldn't appreciate already knowing the secrets if we had bought the house. We slid down the stairs so much, I remember getting rug burns. Once I even did the stairs Home Alone style in a sled out the door. My mom would get so mad at the running - she would slam the doors shut and tell me to go outside. The yard is huge, the rooms are many, and I'm so excited for this house to bring so many fun memories to another family.
