House of Memories
A very emotional tour of this woman's house, this article almost brought me to tears. I cannot imagine what she must be going through just walking around her house. She questions whether a house is just a structure that houses us, or one that also houses our memories. She tells us about her struggle with the sickness and eventual death of her husband just as they are starting their new life together. She questions the effect moving out of the house would have on her memories of her time there. As she guides the reader around the house she shows memories of events that have happened in specific locations. She questions the effect moving out of the house would have on the memories made there.
I love how she uses vivid details to make the reader feel like they are reliving the memory too. I can picture the rooms and the memories, the pain of dealing with the loss of her young husband.
