Dear seller,
It was a pleasure to run into you the other day. It sounds
like your mother was a kind woman. The neighbor had nothing but nice things to
say. I can only imagine the stories those two could have told about nearly 50
years next door to each other.
I remember a day about a year into teaching
when I realized that I’d fallen in love with the neighborhood and wanted to
spend my life there. I think that’s when my job became much more than a job. I
loved the kids I taught. I loved the sense of community that is so strong in the
neighborhood. That’s the moment when I realized I wanted to plant my life in
Ward 7. I started looking at apartments and nothing seemed right, so I started
saving for a down payment on a house.
I want this home to be a place where I can invite friends and
neighbors over for dinners and cook-outs: a place where friends are families
are comfortable popping in for dinner. I can only pray that God would be so kind as to allow me to
marry and raise kids for fifty years like your parents did in this house. I’m
moved by the legacy of stability that this home seems to radiate. I ask that
you would consider the offer attached.
Thank you,
