The demolition of this 1950's house made me pause and reflect on life and how fleeting it is, how sad the passing of an era.I have walked past the house for over ten years. The couple who used to live there, Bill and his wife of over forty years, raised three children, and entertained countless grandkids. Those old bricks would have seen and felt so much; laughter, sadness, success, failure, happiness and tears. A lifetime, so many memories.
Bill's wife died four or five years ago and old Bill, well he and his dog moved into a retirement unit around May last year. I haven't seen him since.....but I remember him and what a great neighbour he was.
