i have worked at e'lan contemporary furnishings for 8 years and 2 months. after much heartache and tough choices, the owners closed their doors this week. e'lan had been locally owned, by the same owners, for 37 years. they did not have children. the store was their baby, and their employees family. it seems so weird that my home away from home is gone. i am so sad for our owners, and my fellow employees. this is a very sad thing for omaha, and effects alot of people. even though i had plans to move on, it breaks my heart when i think that i will no longer be able to walk in that store, see my old friends and get some inspiration. there is nothing physical to reflect the time i spent there, and impact i made. i will look back on my years with e'lan fondly. i grew up there, was given amazing opportunities, and learned many priceless lessons. i know i will keep in touch with the people that i love from e'lan, but i am mourning the loss of what i worked so hard for and is now gone.
