Have you ever imagined your life as perceived in the eyes of others? Do the lives of those who live in major cities tend to move faster, like the hustle and bustle of traffic? What about country folks, do their lives move like a tractor on an old back road? When most people see this house comment on the huge front porch or how massive and exquisite it appears. For me, home is the first thing that rushes to my mind. To countless people this is just an image of a house, but to me there are bountiful memories and lessons that arise when I see this house.
This house is not my home, although it was my grandparents’ house; they built it in the mid 1970’s. I actually spent more time in this house than my own while growing up. While my parents were …show more content…
My brother, cousins, and I all got together one summer and tried to build a treehouse. This tree house was going to be the best thing ever! Even though it was never quite like we imagined it, it still was incredible and a place we could call our own. The tree house was two stories and had a really neat entrance. We dug out some of the hillside leading to the tree house and created our own steps. This project kept us busy pretty much all summer, also it served as our own little oasis which we could escape from the scolding sun. It was a great way to learn how to complete a task on our own without the help of adults. A great plus to this treehouse was it was literally just steps away from the creek that we loved to play in.

Never did I imagine that the house would last only 3 days on the market before someone bought it. Just yesterday I found out that May 16th is the last day I will legally be allowed to step foot on that property ever again and that crushes my heart. This house is the only thing I have left of my grandparents and I want to keep it forever. However, in a way I am so glad that someone is moving in because this relieves my family of so much stress from taking care of this property and our own, but I am extremely torn. I do not want another family living there and changing everything my grandparents worked so hard for and customizing it to their personalities. Then again, I also would like to see a family that can keep up with this house and do the renovations and small projects it needs. All in all, this house has a much deeper meaning to me than just a house. It signifies life, family, love, and an abundance of other things. I am extremely saddened that we cannot keep this house in our family and keep adding to our great memories. This house has given my family countless memories that will last us a lifetime, even if we do not see it right now. I hope whoever the family that owns this house next can make as many memories with their own family as we
