We exchange contracts on Tuesday.
My darling dad died in June last year. He bought the land and had the house built for him & my mum when they got married so we're the only people who ever lived there. My mum died when my brother & I was 7 & 9; dad brought us up alone and never remarried.
My brother lives abroad so it's all been left to me. The last little bits are being moved out tomorrow and the thought I am leaving that house for the last time then is pulling me apart. Th grief suddenly feels completely raw again, like he's only just died.
I feel so bereft. It all feels so final, like I'm losing dad and mum all over again.
I know I need to cry as I've been bottling it up but I feel like I can't stop today. I'm looking at photos of them holding me as a baby outside the house, looking so happy with their lot and so young. It's heart-breaking.
