And when we see the house after so many years, those experiences and feelings immediately come back to us and are felt, deep within our soul."<br /><br />Oh, that is pure gold, Ron, and so incredibly true! Our stories are wrapped up in the bricks and mortar and we never really leave these places no matter how many years go by!<br /><br />Take care, my friend!<br /><br /><br />Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-15345613792380173632017-06-06T07:37:43.402-07:002017-06-06T07:37:43.402-07:00Yes, Jay, these old family homes can certainly ril...Yes, Jay, these old family homes can certainly rile up the emotions. And it is shocking how powerful these emotions really are. I understand fully that you couldn't up to your floor--it can be so overwhelming. <br /><br />Like you there's a part of me that wants to back and knock on that door, but I don't think I can handle those memories--even if I'm prepared for them!<br /><br />Take care!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-25613178753370102492017-06-06T00:53:09.449-07:002017-06-06T00:53:09.449-07:00Revisiting a childhood home can really stir up som...Revisiting a childhood home can really stir up some strong memories, can't it? I did that once and was shocked at the surge of raw emotion that hit me, and not the emotion I might have expected, either. I'd planned to go inside the block of flats and take the lift up to 'our' floor, but I simply could not do it. <br /><br />Part of me would like to go back again some day, and knock on the door as Bijou suggests. I'd love to see inside the flat, because I'm sure a lot of memories will resurface ... and I'd be ready for them this time, wouldn't I?<br /><br />Or would I?Jayhttp://www.sparkingsynapse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-82718452292734695802017-06-05T18:48:44.552-07:002017-06-05T18:48:44.552-07:00Rob, this post reminded me of the movie, "The...Rob, this post reminded me of the movie, "The Trip to Bountiful", with Geraldine Page - a beautiful and touching story that was bittersweet.<br /><br />I felt the same as you twice - once when I went back to the home I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and the other time was when I went back to the home our family moved to when we first moved to Florida - both times I felt very emotional.<br /><br />A house isn't just a place we lived and grew up in, it's a place that holds experiences that stay with us our entire life.

At our last house, a pair of 30-somethings stopped by in the 90's. The young woman had been the daughter of the original owners, back in 1966 and the young man was her next door neighbor at the time. I think they were in town for a class reunion or something. We invited them in and showed them around. They were most amazed by the backyard and how tall the trees were, etc. She remembered her father planting some of them. Honestly, we enjoyed her stories and memories as much as she enjoyed reminiscing.Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.com
