Ick! That house looks so cold and sterile. Nothing homey about it. Jmo
It’s so funny but when I look at it, I see serenity and peace WHEN only JFD and the kids were there. It’s light and bright, and I see all the things JFD and the kids could have had fun doing there. I don’t know why but I feel like there were many places for books and hanging out, and I feel like I can see the warm and sunny world that JFD wanted to create for the kids. I guess I feel like this shows how the light, like the good in the world, can shine through even the darkest evil. I definitely feel like houses imbibe feelings and experiences of those who lived there but that they can reflect the good as well. I know it sounds odd and it’s certainly just MOO but seeing that house gives me some comfort because even the depths of ugliness that FD and MT brought into it were no match for the enduring light and love from JFD and the kids. I wouldn’t have the money and I’d get lost in it but I could live there and celebrate the spirit and light of JFD and her beloved children and revel in the fact that, in a way, the house cast out FD and MT. I know it’d never be allowed by zoning but what a powerful place it would be for a domestic violence shelter. I hope a bidding war takes place over it so maybe the kids will benefit. The furnishings, etc. give me pause although of course I’d like for the kids to benefit from those sales, too. I just would not want anything that had been too close to MT. It’s like a Horcux kind of thing. Of course, I can’t think there could be anything much left after the many grab-and-go trips by MT. It reminds me of the Grinch taking all that he could carry...didn’t FD have to go buy dishes after she left with her first haul? I’ve no sympathy for him but again...did MT move in with four or five semi-truck loads of stuff? Based on her ever-growing list of what was hers in the house, it would seem so she must have. Or, as seems her pattern, she saw something that someone else had, decided she wanted it, and just did whatever it took to try to take it. I’ll never have another lemon squeezer in this house. MOO.
