2nd Entry
I guess we will know today if our house is going to be bought by a group of developers who have been trying to buy all the houses on our side of the street and all the businesses behind us.
This man approached our family about 3 months ago about buying the house. At the time, he offered a very minimal amount of money for the house. The amount wouldn't have even been enough for us to be able to buy another house and have any money left over. He tehn brought back a 2nd offer which still wasn't enough.
The house is my mother-in-law's so ultimately she's the one that makes the final decision, however she turned it over to her sons to deal with.
Her oldest son talked to the man about the price and told him that there was no way they would sell for that amount. He then gave the man a ballpark figure of how much money they were looking for. The man got pissed and ask my brother in law if he had fallen out of a tree and hit his head. For at least a month, we didn't hear anything, thinking that the deal how fallen through and that would be that.
Well, about 2 weeks ago, he called back and offered double the 1st offer. My husband told him we would think about it. Again he called last week and my husband told him the least amount of money that they would take for the house. He's supposed to call back today.
If the deal goes through, this will set my mother in law up for the rest of her life. She will buy another house for us to live in and then the rest of the monies will be invested somehow. My mother in law has never had any money to just go out and buy whatever she wanted and I feel so happy that she may be able to finally do that. She can see something she wants and just buy it because she has the money. She has a small list of items she wants to buy for the new house if this all goes through, but her wants aren't that big. On her list are the following: new living room furniture and a good set of pots and pans. That's it.
I just want her to be happy with whatever happens.
My only concern in this whole matter is that I want to make sure that if something happens to her, that we won't end up homeless in this whole situation. Years ago, my husband and I gave up living in our own home to live with her after his father died. We've been there ever since.
I guess I need to try not to worry about these things....but hard not too.
Anyway, enough of this boring stuff, maybe i'll write a poem or something in a bit.
