Decades ago when I was in my early 20's I tore down the house my Dad was raised in. The house was old and my grandmother had moved into a newer house nearby. Though the old house held wonderful memories for all of us, I, in my young ignorance decided to do away with it. Who knows why? I was just a dumb kid.
