If you've ever had to sell a house, you know that it can be difficult to detach yourself emotionally from it. What makes it even harder is seeing the changes the new owner has made.
A former neighbor asked the new owners not to take down a particular tree that was planted in memory of his sister. I think the first buyer honored that request, but the second one did not. A former owner really has no right to tell a new owner what to do. If something doesn't suit a new owner's taste, he has every right to change it. Still, it can be a bit painful to see something change from the way it's remembered.
We make memories in houses; that's why it's hard to leave them. The good thing about it is that when you find a new place to call home, you can make memories all over again. That's what we're doing now.
