Maybe this is an invitation to your own family’s future and the stories within it. Maybe the past has offered up a box for you to fill.

Hi Jess,

I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I have owned and restored an old home (1912) and we sold it to move to a brand new one in Shawnigan Lake. To this day, we miss that house. As we renovated, we too discovered treasures in the walls! The house had wonderful stories to tell. We have since left Shawnigan and hope one day to have another oldie!

I hope for you that your new home will show you new treasures and that your days in it will be filled with joy and laughter! One day, someone else will move into it and feel all of that .. and then it will be telling your stories

Thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,
Gil
