Bobert,

Sometimes it's just hard to say goodbye to a place, ya know?

   I have a 5 bedroom home that I don't live in. It's a house in town and I haven't been able to say goodbye to it for 7 years now. I just couldn't. So...I have been spending my own money on utilities and taxes and this is the year that it's ok for me to let it go. It's a bit much and I know I've wasted a ton of money but the goodbye was just too much for me...it's been almost a grieving process.

   Give your wife...er friend..some time and understand that sometimes it's just plain old hard to say goodbye to someplace that's full of love and good memories.
