Something, I don't know what it is, but something has always drawn me to this house. It was the first house we looked at in our house search and I knew right away it would be ours. But it was way to expensive and needed too much work and who could buy the first house the saw?
But the market tumbled and so did the price. And we looked at about 200 other homes. And somehow I just knew. I never could put my finger on why.
Until the pieces began to fall in place...... The couple who had not just lived there, but loved their God and family here..... They too were Catholic, believed in marriage, and family. Put their God above all else and let their God lead them to wise decisions. It is obvious in every nook and cranny of this house and in every story that the neighbors share with me.
When I think of all the devil has done to try and bring this home and family crashing to the ground. Now I know..... the love and faith of those before us - really do make a difference.
Last week the head of this home for 30+ years passed away. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/stltoday/obituary.aspx?n=dominick-a-alessi-mickey&pid=142791244 If you have a moment, please say a prayer of thanks to Micky for all he has brought to our family and home.
It is fitting at this time that David is headed on the right path to assume this role. God is full of miracles and hope.
