Between 1990 and 1996 i lived in a house together with my family and it was the period of my life that i remember most fondly.
We got a Super Nintendo while we lived there and after my mother and step-father broke up and we sold the house life kind of went spiraling downwards. By 2004 My grandmother and grandfather died of cancer, my father had commited suicide and my mother started abusing heavy drugs.
All i ever really wanted was to find the same stability and family-life i had as a kid.
My kids mother (we were together between 2004 and 2012) destroyed my hope for women but i got two amazing kids out of that relationship.
I met a woman through internet after years of terrible dates and extremly low self-esteem. I remember thinking when i first saw her that "she is waaay out of my League". Fast forward and this weekend we moved into a house, on the same street i grew up on. I would never have dreamt of this in a million years and i get all teared up watching my daughters playing Sim City on the SNES mini.
Sorry for the rant but i never thought a game i played as a kid could make me feel this way today.
