In August, 2009, I wrote about a package sent to me by a good man. He totally understood my reasons and a dream to one day own my own home. So he sent me a single fence picket, painted white. Because every home comes with a white picket fence, right?
He believed in me. That helped. A lot.
When things happened, they happened fast. I was casually looking looking at listings, unsure if I could actually make it happen.
My realtor took me to a house. It was ok but didn't... say "this is home". He said there's a house around the corner...... I walked through, it was a foreclosure. But I wasn't in the car 5 minutes before I was calling the realtor back, saying YES to the house! I signed papers in December 2009.
Having that man believe in me, to encourage me to go for my dream, meant everything. And I hung that white picket fence on the wall, added a hook, and now my purse hangs there every day.
Every time I look at it, I remember the man, and also that if I put my mind to it, dreams can come true!!! Just work hard and don't lose focus.
PS: I have lived in this house longer than any other house before, including the house I grew up in. Major accomplishment!! And thank you, MrN, for everything you taught me.
