Hi, My name is Sarah Oliver and I am the granddaughter of Nano (the former owner). In April of 2019 God told me to write a letter to the future owner(s) of Nano’s house. I wanted to just briefly share with you who Nano was and what 6045 means to me.
Do you ever smell something and envision it being associated with a certain memory or occasion? Well, I have. I often recall being in or driving by this house when Nano lived here. This house brought forth a sense of belonging and family.
My Nano was a woman unlike any other. She was inspiring, strong, kind, loving, patient, forgiving, inventive, fierce, supportive, and welcoming. Some of the most amazing years were spent creating memories, emotions, traditions, and stories in this house. Nano was the woman who made her home what it was. Someone who filled the room with laughter and joy. Someone who cared for others so well. Someone who fought hard even when health issues faces her. Someone who could out shop anyone.
I felt instant comfort when I saw 6045, and I knew I’d be exposed to delicious food and excellent company when I spotted it. I would be filled with glee if I tasted the special scent of comfort foods and I miss sitting at the dining room or kitchen table for family meals.
I wonder how 6045 is now that Nano is in Heaven. Are the new owners kind? Do they take care of you and your needs to function as well as possible? Do they spread love and joy throughout your kitchen?
I can only hope that all is well. When I drive by 6045, I long to be inside your walls again. Sometimes I make a special detour just to quickly go by. 6045 still looks beautiful, but something is different.
I know that I should let go, but it’s difficult. 6045 will always be in my heart. Embrace all the memories, and create a home away from home environment. I love you 6045.
Sincerely,
Sarah Oliver
