Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
As a parent, there are moments that fill your heart with immense pride and joy, and witnessing your child achieve significant milestones is one of those unforgettable experiences. Recently, I had the pleasure of witnessing my daughter take a giant leap forward in life; buying her very first home.
Her story began in September of last year. She made the highest offer to what she then thought was her dream house, but lost out to an all cash bid. Fast forward several months, house showings, and many disappointments. Her apartment lease was due to end in June and she was beginning to get discouraged. Her job had moved to another state and her commute was no longer working for her schedule. It was decided she would temporarily move back home until she found something.
She would be moving back home before I returned from an overseas adventure. All the while she was looking high and low for her perfect home. I had a feeling she would find something while I was gone and wouldn’t have the opportunity to check it out with her. She had a very good support system and each time she found a possibility, her father, her brother, her boyfriend, and I would show up at the house viewing. So I knew she would be in good hands.
As it turns out, she found her home while I was away. Since there was a six hour time difference it wasn’t always easy to connect but once I heard, I was beyond thrilled for her. She made her offer and then a counter offer and it was accepted. WHOOP WHOOP!
It has been such a pleasure to watch her take a big leap forward. Witnessing my daughter's journey to homeownership has been a heartwarming reminder of the remarkable woman she has become. Her determination, fearlessness, and hard work have not only led her to this beautiful new home but also inspired me to embrace life's challenges with the same "get er done" attitude.
To my daughter, I say, "Congratulations, my Hannie. You've accomplished such a big girl thing, and I couldn't be prouder of the amazing woman you've become. As you start this new chapter, know that I'll always be by your side, cheering you on every step of the way. Homeownership suits you, and I can't wait to see all the incredible memories you'll create in your very own space. Because Girlfriend, it’s all signed, sealed and delivered!”

PS … I’m very excited for her, but a little sad for me. We spend our lives as parents preparing for this moment and when it comes, we hesitate for a brief instant, and want to take it back … HA!
PSS … I’ll be sharing a bit more of our crazy transition. Stay tuned!
