this is not my home anymore

A home inspector just spent 3 hours inspecting my house for the prospective buyer.   I felt violated and sick to my stomach.  After it was done the prospective buyer and their realator showed up ( more feelings of violation).
  I cringed as he started in on his report with all of us standing in my entry way.  To my amazement he didn't have much bad to say about our 17 year old house.  He was honest and informative but very positive overall.  My feelings of violation quickly vanished and as I toured the prospective buyers around their new house I said goodbye.
  We have loved this house.  The new owners love it too.  As I write this down I'm a bit teary-eyed (glad I didn't cry earlier -during or after the inspection) but happy to begin building our home in Alaska.  Oh! the possibilities!

i am heart-broken and thrilled with you! The thought of coming back to a Folsom that is missing such a HUGE piece of my soul brings me to tears. But, the knowledge that God is leading your family to a new land, a new life, and an unknown adventure makes my weary heart soar. I love you.
