Yesterday, June 6th, was the 1-year anniversary of Wild Bill's doctor telling us Bill had, at best, 8 to 12 months to live.
Bill is doing really well with the new chemo treatment, and he has happily traded his full head of hair for what we're hoping is a much brighter future than the doctor predicted! Every day now is one more day we never thought we'd have.
And today, June 7th, is the 1-year anniversary of my mother-in-law Jessie's passing. If you were a reader last year, you may remember Jessie died the day after learning her only child had so little time to live!
I still think Jessie is our angel up in Heaven watching over us and maybe pulling a few strings for us now and then! Read on and see what you think...
Last Saturday night I said a prayer for the house to find a buyer to love her and release us to move forward to a new future.
Sunday afternoon our realtor brought us a good offer for our house contingent on the sale of the buyer's local farm.
I knew the buyer was a "kindred soul" when the offer included a request that the four counter stools and the rolling center island be left as part of the contract!
I was happy to do that as I'm ready to release the past and embrace the future.
On Tuesday, they accepted an offer contingent upon the completion of a pending sale of their buyer's home...So we are lined up like Dominos!
We had the required inspections on Wednesday (termite inspection) and Thursday (home inspection), and now we are waiting for the "punch" list from the home inspector's report so we can get any items he noted completed.
Please wish us all luck -- and 3 speedy closings -- and then we'll all be on our way to a new life.
Thanks for dropping by!
Wishing all of you in the 1-2-3 group that you all sell so that YOU sell.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy! We got to met our buyers on Thursday after the home inspection, and they are buying a lot of our furniture so we will be able to move very quickly if all goes well.
DeleteThe sale of your house is great news and I pray that your husband continues to do well. Do you have any idea where you will be moving?
ReplyDeleteLa Vie, we've been looking in the small towns that ring around the Nashville area or maybe the northern Mississippi area. We are selling or giving away most of our furniture, and have packed up what we plan to keep and have been putting it into 2 storage units here until we know for sure where we will end up. An apartment for 6 months will let us have some time to look around and find the best treatment for Bill, and that's where we'll settle.
DeleteGood luck with the sale - I am sure it will all progress well.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers for continued progress for your dear husband and for the sale of your home.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mama! The buyer's are perfect for our house as it was perfect for us when we bought it. With the passing of Bill's parents last June and November, we no longer have the need to stay in our town to be with them. We are ready for a last adventure!
DeletePraying for quick closures on all three properties. And that is great news concerning your husband, yes each day is now a bonus and I'm sure you will both embrace them to the fullest. Blessings to you both.

Thank you, Diana. All prayers help! The miracle is unfolding everyday now. The cottage has a perfect couple coming for her to embrace and protect as she has done for us, especially in this last year.
DeleteRivercrest Cottage,
ReplyDeletePlacing your request on my daily prayer list!
I, too, believe that angels grieve and that they are looking down on us from up above.
You and Wild Bill embrace the future and savor every moment!

Yeah so happy for you. I always believe that everything will fall together and work out just the way it is suppose too. We put our house up on the Market Thursday and we got a contract last night. First person through bought it. So now we are on the look for Junk Chic Cottage #4. Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Doesn't sound like you need luck as you have God on your side. So glad Bill is doing okay with his new chemo treatment. Every day is now a bonus.
ReplyDeletePrayers that the dominoes fall in succession, Happy for the great report for your Wild Bill.

So glad that Bill is doing so well and your house is under contract. The power of prayer is amazing. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteWell, nothing like a post filled with really good news and this one goes to the head of the class. Sending all good joy for the good chemo toleration and good luck for the dominoes to fall in all the right places!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear things are falling into place! We will keep praying for good news for Bill and he will improve with the treatments! Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in your future endeavors. We wish Bill good health & hope you two settle somewhere where you can call home sweet home!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Bill! Prayers that he continues to do well, but, yes, I think he has an angel watching closely over him.
ReplyDeleteoh wow... what a wonderful report on Bill.... and yes ... praying for 3 speedy closings with no complications!!
