Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original characters from "Life As A House." The only characters I own are Kate and her family. Also, the prologue of this story doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the guy who wrote the script for the movie, Mark Andrus. With all that in mind, enjoy my story!







Prologue: George's Legacy

*~ So this is who I am ~ And this is all I know ~ And I must choose to live ~ For all that I can give ~*



"The change can be so constant. And you don't even feel a difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't know that your life is better or worse, until it is. Or it can just blow you away and make you something different in an instant. It happened to me. . ."

"I always thought of myself as a house. I was always what I lived in. It didn't need to be big. I didn't even need to be beautiful. It just needed to be mine. I became what I was meant to be.

I built myself a life. I built myself a house.

With every crash of every wave, I hear something now. I never listened before. I'm on the edge of a cliff, listening.

Almost finished.

If you were a house, Sam, this is where you would want to be built. On a rock, facing the sea.

Listening. LISTENING."
