My aunt’s house
My aunt owns a house, which is not particularly old, neither
has it been in my family for lots of generations, but even though, this house
is a treasure for me, due to the range of good memories that it brings.
When my grandmother died, several years ago, she bequeathed the
house to all her 8 children, and the amazing thing is that it was a consensus
between the brothers and sisters that the house would stay in the possession of
the person who would use it to always bring the family together.
Since them, my aunt has been living in that house, but it is
always open to the whole family, and on special occasions such as Christmas, New
Year, anniversaries and carnival, all the family celebrates together in her
house, and those who live in other cities, stay in her house, and are very
welcomed.
All of those lovely moments of the whole family together are
in my memory, and to visit my aunt`s house is to visit the set of my family’s
movie; while I’m walking through it, the best pictures of this movie come to my
mind, and I feel participating of something special.

How wonderful that the 8 children all agreed that your aunt should have the house as a place for family celebrations. I love your image of seeing the house as a film set, with your family starring in your own family movie! Where is this house?
