Topic: Life can change in a phone call.... | |
---|---|
My Friday was a wild one !!! Had been caring for a sick child all week...(on the mend now).. went to work...did my thing, came home, did the mum/domestic goddess thing...phone rings. The last remaining elder of the clan, quietly slipped away in his sleep sometime thursday night... bummer!...but also good for him, he's missed his love for 8 years, his special girl, my aunt, of over 50 years..so now they are back together. So a day figuring out kids, work schedules, transport, accomodation, to attend the upcoming funeral, at the other end of the country... and that evening the phone rings... Eldest son...sad to lose his great uncle, but also pretty pragmatic about it...co ordinating for us both to stay in the same place, him flying from where he lives, me wanting to hitch hike, but deciding best to fly.. chatting away....he says.... "oh by the way Mum...my partner and I have done our financials, chatted to the bank...GO BUY A HOUSE.." I say...'Huh. pardon???" He says..."GO BUY A HOUSE MUM...my partner and I are paying for it" I say..."WHAT THE....???" ""SAY WHAT???"" ![]() He says..."You've got $340 000 to play with...go buy a house" I start crying and hand the phone to his lordship... they talk, I cry.... and I am buying a house apparently... ![]() ![]() got room for me? ![]() |

S1ow.....I read your post and felt as though you were sat across from me, a beer in hand looking at the stars....your words are like a warm embrace, thankyou darlinghearted man.
![]() JT, there is always room in my home for you. ![]() Newarkjw, thankyou... and yes, my son and I were laughing at that movie today...a house is a monetary investment...and it needs to be considered without emotion...that's why after the funeral he is coming up, and the menfolk, my son and my partner, are going house hunting...I buy shoes for the funkiness, I am not trusted to buy a house... ![]() ![]() A home is ALL emotion brim full, and rolling out the doors....I already have that, even in a tent. |
