Week 3: Doors – This is our back fly screen door. Between this door two species of animals are getting to know one another under the condition of family not food 😊 another circle of life is in learning mode inside as well, our kitten is getting to know our pet bird and is slowly beginning to learn that he is family too despite the hunter look in his eyes. This door leads us to our backyard. Our backyard is a very social area of our house. The door leads us to our pergola where we have our bbqs and parties, climb a few concrete steps to our pool, then games room (great for sleepovers) and outdoor spa. Jacob’s memorial bar is out there too and is always ready to have a drink at and a permanent marker is there as well to write a message of love on the bar top. We ring a bell to have a toast to him as we enjoy family gatherings. I quoted Stephen King’s words about doors to go with this photo of my back door and his stories are just some of my favourite reads. The meaning of the quote is that your words start out being just for you, then they go out to others. Once you know what the story is and get it right – it then belongs to anyone who wants to read it. I hope my words that I write in my blog will one day help others with their own grief. ‘Always an open door to our house’ ❤️
