Bye Bye Childhood Home
I've seen it coming for some years now, and today it finally happened.

My parents sold their villa, the house where I and my sister and brothers grew up. The day before yesterday I walked these familiar rooms for the last time saying goodbye. Bye bye living room, bye bye dining room, TV-room, bar, big bathroom, small bathroom, sauna, attic family room, kitchen... and most of all the room in the attic that used to be mine.

The room which have seen so many laughter, tears, emotions. The room where I played my music, gossiped and slept over with friends, kissed boyfriends and had clandestine chocolate orgies with my sister....

Sad one might think. No, not really. More... unreal. I still haven't really got used to the fact that the place is gone now. Not the house, it's still standing. But the very special place where we lived... It's not my parents' furniture, books and stuff there anymore. The only thing left was the old piano the new owners wanted to keep and my parents wanted rid off.

And while they have moved downtown and love it, I guess I'm going to come to terms with it after a while. Going to realize that there won't be any more Christmases or Crayfish parties or Football Eves anymore... I'll have to get use to that place not being ours anymore and that I can't just go there on a whim. That it has been the last time...



Funerals as prime time TV?
Well the other day it seemed like tackiness has reached its peak in the kingdom of Sweden.

A few weeks ago a little girl was brutally murdered and her body set on fire by this maniac who luckily enough has been caught (it was not his first murder by the way) and whom I hope they look up in hell and throw the key away.

For some reason the parents decided they wanted the funeral for their little girl Engla to be televised. And whatever state of shock might have made them to take that decision; I was quite surprised that the national TV went along with it. IMO that is somewhat like making a sad event into a "show" and to me it has passed the line of tastelessness with a large limit. Funerals and sad events like that should not be turned into spectacles and mourning people should not be actors in the media circus.

Someone might argue that this is what the parents wanted, but I'm quite sure they made that decision being not entirely stable and that they might regret it a lot later on. Sure there must have been a way for the TV people to politely turn it down. But nooo - they are all counting watcher's figures :(

Jag kommer ihåg när jag var i samma situation. Mamma o pappa hade haft samma hus (gård) sen jag föddes, jag är född i västra flygeln med min moster som doola och jag har så många minnen knutna till det stället. Men 02 sålde dom och flyttade till stan och till ett vinterhus i Spanien.

Jag och min man körde förbi gården för några månader sen när vi var och hälsade på och sakkan vad det kändes konstigt! Dom hade gjort om massor och jag blev nästan tårögd. Stor fet klump i halsen iallafall. Det var nog först då jag fattade. Att det inte bara var att svänga upp på uppfarten o tuta så kom mamma ut och ville bjuda på fika...

aww don't be sad! You can still visit it from outside. It's not the house, its the memories that remain in your head, noone can take that from you! ;)

My grandparent's house where i spent most of my childhood summer is torn down many years ago and now a six roof building is standing over it.

I always find it difficult to seperate from a house. it takes me more than 5 years to say that i don't miss it :( but those are things that happen in life..

Ja, det sorgliga har liksom inte kommit in ännu. Känns fortfarande ganska overkligt att det är "borta". Att jag aldrig kommer åka dit något mer på samma sätt.
