Symbolism

 

 

An infant often has a soother.

A child has a blanket.

A toddler a teddy bear.
 

As adults we also have

'things'

that symbolize

security, happiness or other such emotion.

 

Sometimes we don't even realize

that we are 'holding' onto something that

represents these things to us.

We think we have outgrown them.

Such as a child has their blanket.

 

Our 'home away from home'

represented a lot of things:

Relaxation

Friendship

Peace and tranquility.

 

It also represents an 'Oasis' I can no longer afford.

 

I spent the weekend,
with the help of others,

removing everything from our 40' Park Model

to make way for a new family.

 I hope that whomever they are,
 they are able to create

wonderful memories such as we have.

 

When I pulled that blind and locked the door

for the last time,

it symbolized so many changes yet to be.

 

Thank you everyone, for helping me.

be the small,
nameless moments
you spend smiling with someone
who matters to you" Unknown

Okay, maybe not.  We found this on the 'back way' to Sackville through Dorchester NB. 

Maybe it's their idea of a fortress against those in Dorechester Penitentary which is just down the way?

 A couple of gentlemen that we ran into along the way. The top one reminds me of my deseased Father-in-law (Black Rose says the same thing).

Friendship

Friendship is a sheltering tree. - Samuel Coleridge

Thank you 'Bud' for checking on my family tonight.  There was a fire in the campground where my family has a seasonal site.  My family and our unit is safe, however, another was badly damaged.  Such a fright when a trailer within a campground catches fire - so much can happen with all of those propane tanks.  The fear is always in the back of your mind, although if you dwelled on it, it would drive you crazy.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. - Mark Twain

It’s nice to see you smile!
It's been a long while.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer
