Reiteration is Redundant

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today has been the complete opposite of yesterday. Yesterday I was at a completely low point, and wanted to simply throw in the towel and give up. I had had it.

Today things changed. We spoke to our neighbor's and they gave us a completely different outlook on things. They opened our eyes and made us see their generosity and their patience. I am still stunned over the conversation, and it touched me. It touched me deeply. I didn't realize that two people could be so giving, kind and generous to two people who merely reside in the same neighborhood.

They are determined to sell us their home. They given us the gift of time to sort out the things that need to be sorted out. They've extended themselves to us to a point that I didn't think sellers would do. I realize that this is a buyer's market right now. I understand that home sales are sluggish right now. But this is not their reasoning for waiting for us and wanting us to be the new owners.

They told us that they want us to have their home. They want to maintain the atmosphere that exists on our road, and the best way they could think of doing that is to sell us their home.

I know. I know. I thought that we were limited to two options last night. We were until now.

They've offered to help us in any way possible to make this happen for all of us. They've given us a lot of leeway, and are willing to consider any possible avenue to make this work for us.

And we don't have to resort to cashing in my husband's 401K. And we don't have to worry about breaking ourselves to buy this home. And we don't have to worry about the frightening prospect of carrying two mortgages if our daughter decides to leave this house. And we are going to leave this house with nothing holding us back.

It must be PMS, because when I think about how generous our neighbors are, it makes me want to cry. I've never met two people who would extend themselves to two people they barely know. I can't say that anyone has ever been this nice to me.

Gosh, I can't even finish this... I'm crying like a baby... lol

...mysterious ways....
