To all who pass through here again, I wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010! It's been long since I have no news and I apologize, but it's true that now that everything is going well for us, there is nothing much to tell! We spent the first few months in our apartment at any move, there are only small tinkering to do, my friends were amazed at my speed. There is no more cardboard, everything is in place is warm and friendly. I have tried to occupy the premises as best as I could: have and rearrange the furniture, hanging shelves, hanging curtains at the windows, put garlands on the walls, drawings and posters, some green plants here and there, old empty bottles inherited from my grandfather. Gradually, our house was inhabited by the spirits for the home! The first weeks, when the children were in bed, I stood in contemplation, planted in the middle of the living room watching our home, I could not believe it. Everything seemed incredible, too good, too quiet. Now you really feel at home. We can leave the apartment and find him according to our desires, without the anxiety of wondering where we go after, we know that we all will return there. I made fast to pass something else: after a year and a half to have spent all my time looking for places to live, now I'm free to leave and return as I see fit, without further worry about the house. My big red suitcase is in my room, tidy, it has not moved since July.
Recently my brother got the call from a person in disarray on the situation of one of her friends who ended up homeless with two older teenagers. Today I also received an email from a person caring for a friend that she hosts with her little girl of three years. It saddens me, because I understand their situation to be lived, but I am not able to find solutions. I feel totally free. I have not made formula. Our story is unique, there was such a craze around the blog, this may have helped speed up my file HLM. But if it is thanks to this I'm not sure it would work every time ... That is why we must continue to mobilize for the inadequately housed, for the purposes of the Act on the requisitions, and for there to be more housing (really) office in Paris.
With time and for an indefinite time, we host a friend who had to leave his apartment and looking for a studio. She was afraid that the children are disturbed by his coming ... Instead, they quickly adapted to this situation, and Jules is quite proud to reverse roles and be able to help someone. Moreover, whenever his friends come home, he is delighted to welcome them into his room that he spent a year and a half from business and other toys, he can now share his.
This post is really the last, I will write more on this blog. It was created to inform people of the reality of inadequate housing by telling our daily family homeless in Paris. Now that our life is back to normal, he has no reason to be. Our newspaper is again that of the whole world, neither more nor less interesting. We turn a page. I want to thank all readers one last time for your support. Deep within me, I know that this test was bearable thanks to this blog and thanks to you. I will never forget.
