Thursday
Saying goodbye to the door that opened for me for the last 27 years. Now I am saying goodbye. It is old and worn, but it was “home”…. the handle my husband installed so my aging Mother could get up and down the steps safely… the curtains I found to hang that reminded me of my trips to Japan. The railing that once was sturdy and strong is now slightly wonky and in need of repair… I refused to change the door over the years, inside I bolted it with make shift security blots/chains… it gave me a sense of security…. but really the old door was ready to retire. What does the future hold in store for it.. who knows.. I have to move on. Saying goodbye to the house has been easy, because I know that the time has come for me to turn a page.. but leaving the door… that breaks my heart.
I now live in a new upscale apartment complex with big windows, elevators and steel frame doors… it will never welcome me home like the “old” wooden door. Now I have a concierge and many new “things” to explore and get to know… but you all know… that this “old” door, will never be forgotten.
NO.. I never wanted it painted…. I loved it just the way it was.
