The Big change
2 years ago
Its finally happened
I know I’ve been absent more this year than years past but there’s a reason for that. This year has probably been the most stressful and demanding year yet both in work and personal. I really needed to cut back and focus on what mattered the most.
I have been meaning to buy my grandfathers home for years now but covid and other things got in the way and we could never make a deal, seeing as he was wanting to move out if I did that which I didn’t want him to do. He was 91 years old and still self reliant and had a drivers license. Unfortunately he passed away last December due to medical complications that came out of nowhere. The house was left to the estate.
After months of struggling with family and the bank, we managed to settle on a price but getting here wasn’t easy at all. There were so many hoops I had to jump through and things kept coming out of nowhere.
However, Years of giving up things I loved and hard work finally paid off. I had to swallow my pride on being able to pull this off by myself 100% given the situation with the housing market in Canada and the ridiculous prices in Ontario. So finally I accepted what needed to be done and we managed to work things out in the end and I’m infinitely great full for my family and friends who helped me though this and now I’m a home owner.
A big goal In my life has been achieved so now one chapter closes and a new one begins and I already know well I’m in for a ride of challenges but if I’ve learned something about myself in the last 4 years. I somehow find a way to make things work.

In today's world buying a house is in no way easy, I'm so glad that you've got the house at the end!
