I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel...

It has been one year and three months since my dad has died. Most days, it doesn't affect me and I feel so bad for forgetting. Other days are very hard and it takes me hours to wrap my mind around the fact that my dad is, indeed, dead. What a harsh reality to realize over and over again.

When my dad died, he left several things undone. Between my sister and I, we've gotten things cleared up and taken care of. My sister did a lot right after he died to settle things. The only thing left is to sell the house. It's a looming discouragement. It would have been SO much easier to grab a realtor and put the house on the market a year ago. That didn't happen, so here we are waiting and waiting.

I took over the house selling process to speed it up. It needed to be done and more importantly, it needed to be done quickly! A couple contacted me last month about the house. They've been interested in it for some time and finally we were able to compromise with a price that worked for everyone. So, the day before Thanksgiving, I drove to Morgantown to show the house. It was a successful meeting and I did my best to befriend them so I couldn't come across and frustrated and annoyed. (because I was very much those things that day)

We've stayed in contact and they have been super friendly. I'm grateful the Lord has been moving this process along at a good pace! I'm SOOOOOO happy to say that after a quick meeting with a realtor friend, I was able to send them a "Contract of Sale" TODAY! I mailed it express mail so they will get it tomorrow, review and sign it, send it back to me and we'll be on our way to closing! Yipee!

Even better news: they want to close the week after Christmas! While it may be a crazy week, I'm really looking forward to the estate being settled. I'm ready to close this book and move on. I want to enjoy the memories of my dad and continue healing without thinking about what's next on the estate agenda. It will be so nice to be free from this burden.

Please pray that all goes well and that this transaction moves along smoothly and quickly! I would certainly appreciate it! Thank you all for being such incredible prayer warriors in my life right now! I need you and I'm SO grateful for you!
