I think people, like myself, are recollecting how the house was always beautifully decorated at Christmas time. How your family added on the wonderful additions, making the house even more awesome than it was in it's hayday. I think people want to remember the weddings and special occasions that brought loved ones together in your backyard. I recall the garden walk that your parents hosted back in 2005. These are my fond memories.....and I don't mean to be rude when I drive by and what is there now brings me to tears. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I will never know how you feel, but I do know tht you and your family are in the community's thoughts and prayers. God bless you and help you through this difficult time.<br />Rama Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890787454846676214.post-70535716939543701442013-03-06T14:31:49.743-08:002013-03-06T14:31:49.743-08:00Great post Ashley!

The attention to every detail was obvious from the outside. But from your post, I now realize that it was much more than a beautiful home...it was a labor of love.

Even though I knew what to expect, it was definitely not what I had imagined. I am so very sorry for the loss of your families home and all their belongings. My husband told me that he pulled the newel posts out and found some other beams and huge pieces of wood that hopefully your dad can use in the new home. And they were all amazed that the mantel photo was just singed on the edges. Its amazing what is left, even though so much is gone. Thank you for sharing this with us.
