Two good things have happened this week.
First, our brother ("B2," who is mildly disabled) finally found an apartment. We were worried that it would come time to close on our parents' house without our brother having any place to go. We were also feeling overburdened by the notion of having to look after him. The fact that he found the apartment on his own, without our help, the help of our other brother ("B1"), or the help of the various real-estate agents he's contacted is a Good Thing.
Secondly, B1 found a dealer who would take our father's baby grand piano on consignment. We dread anything having to do with buying and selling big-ticket items, especially where haggling and negotiating are concerned. We put off dealing with the piano until earlier this month, and even getting it appraised was difficult for us. But we got it appraised, and we placed two online classified ads, despite how difficult it was for us to do so.
Yet there was still the element of "what if nobody wants to buy it?" So when B1 called us and told us that his in-laws knew someone who knew someone who knew the consignment dealer, it was like another tremendous weight was lifted off our shoulders. We called the consignment dealer and let him know that we would take photos of the piano as he requested, and that we would send the photos to him along with the appraisal documents.
After being in crisis for the last five years, we're glad that good things have started to happen.
