Wow you really have a great way to explain things. I really appreciate all the help you have given me 🙂 I am new to Tiny Buddha. I will visit here more often, and also see if I can help someone the way you helped me. 🙂

Hmm interesting, I think I can see what you mean. Are you saying to rent another cottage thats affordable?

I think I am having a problem accepting that it is gone because I really enjoyed it and miss it. I think thats the issue.

Anita, thank you for replying. Hmm, for me, I see/feel something sacred that my family worked on/built, A legacy that my Grandfather left, with lots of memories we created that I now miss. Something that I think will be impossible to regain, because of its rarity, beauty, and cost. I love my grandparents, but since they died when I was very young, I don’t have much to remember them by. Just some family videos, A wood garden shed in our current backyard that my grandfather built, and the cottage we no longer have. You see, in my heart and mind, I still feel like the cottage is mine. But I know that is not the case. When I was a child I took it for granted, I didn’t realize how lucky and special it really was to me.
