    All I can say is thank you for sharing this with us. After my grandpa died their farm was sold out of the family and a few years later we got permission from the new owners to stop by and take a look around. When we did the changes to the main house and property actually made my heart hurt. I've not been able to go passed there again since as I prefer to have my memories of how it was in the forefront of my mind. I can't imagine how hard this would have been if it were the house I grew up in.

    My Dad died when I was 17, had been ill all his life with Crohns, had 5 sons and made it to 57. He was a jeweller and was extremely well known as " the man who can " when nobody else could. He has always been and always will be my greatest hero, a trully inspiring man. And like you I often wish he was here to see the things I do, to help steer me at times, and to meet his 3 Grandchildren. When I want to be close to him, I sit at my bench and begin a new piece of jewellery, something exiting, and I can feel him looking over my shoulder. I am sure your father would be proud of his children. Thanks for the share, it reminded me of my Dad, and that is always a good thing.

    I was right with you there, Graeme. My childhood home has gone the other way - people bought it, cut down my willow tree, and extended it over the garage and out to the side - so it's in good nick but it's not really where I grew up any more. Like they say, you can never go home again; but you can make a new one and from what I've seen you and Mrs. Hoof GP have made a fine job of doing that.

    My family built a second home 2.5 miles from our town home. It was on 22 acres of wood and fields and for fifteen glorious years we lived there from early Spring to late late Fall. Then we all went off to live our lives, the building was flooded, my parents died and the Camp is a ruin now, used for storage. I know how you feel. Like you, my memories are my own, and now that I'm old I can tell you this: The best and biggest thing you can do in your life is to fill your children with happy memories of their own to last a lifetime. You've done well so far; I suspect your parents are proud of you.

      I did the same the first time I visited my grandfathers grave. I was 14, I believe. He died at 38 when my mom was a month old. So I never knew him but the overwhelming sense of lose was so heavy. I believe I cried for my grandma that lost the love of her life, my mom that never had a father, my self that never got to know the amazing man that he was, the loss of the Ukrainian customs and language I would've learned and so much more. I cried so hard I scared my mom but when I finally stopped I felt a sence of peace and connection to him that I'd never felt before.

    This video has reminded me of my father's childhood home, a house that was also claimed by nature when my grandparents abandoned it in order to live closer to their children once they retired.
    My father has always been saddened that his childhood home was abandoned until it became ruins and dust. His roots have always been very important to him and that his childhood home was not maintained, he feels it as a lack of respect for his roots.
    In the end only remain memories and a strange mixture of joy, sadness, longing and nostalgia...
