Then I received the phone call I had been dreading for weeks.
Foreclosure proceedings had officially begun.
After I hung up, I sat in silence for several minutes staring at the wall.
I couldn’t breathe inside that house anymore.
Every room felt heavy.
Every bill felt louder.
So I stepped onto the front porch hoping the fresh air would settle my nerves.
That’s when I noticed Mrs. Harper.
She lived next door.
Eighty-two years old.
