Dear Gran,
Today we had an offer accepted on a house! I know there's still a long way to go before we actually get the keys, but the fact that we were able to make an offer with such confidence is entirely because of you. It's such a bittersweet feeling knowing just how much you would have liked to see Chad and I in our own home and yet I'll never be able to give you a Skype-tour or send you photos or keep you updated as we navigate home ownership.
I will never be able to say a big enough thank you for making this next chapter of our lives possible, but you will be with us every step of the way until we have the keys to our very own front door.
Thank you. Love you.

Ah Cazbo. I am going to blame the end of a bout of tonsillitis which has knocked me out for the last few days for my tears on reading your story. [Ahem] What a fantastic story to share on the blog. It's so hard that there are so many things Gran won't know herself, not least what a savvy negotiator you turn out to be. But all those of us who are here take enormous comfort in sharing these pleasures.
ReplyDeleteI know that her involvement won't just stop when you open the door to your very own home for the first time!
