My husband’s childhood home was demolished earlier this week. The foundation was bad, and repairs would have cost more than to tear down and rebuild. His mom still owns the land even though the house had been vacant since she moved out about 14 years ago.
What does a house have to do with my story? Well, it was the house in which I lost my virginity, as well as taking the virginity if my husband (then boyfriend). That’s right, we have been together since we were 16 years old, but *that night* happened when we were both 17.
We were typical teenagers, really. My mom and step dad were very strict, so I did a lot of lying and sneaking around. His mom was not strict at all, and often worked a second job as a waitress at a bar and grill in the evenings. This left the house vacant for us to fool around.
