In the last moments before we left our beloved Applewood Farm, I walked around from room to room drinking in every square inch. There was a hole in my heart that day because not only were we leaving what we thought was our forever home, but the first place that actually felt like home to me in a very long time. Other than bittersweet memories, the only thing I could physically take with me that day, was the mirror hanging in the bathroom.
That mirror now hangs in the main floor bathroom of Glenaura and I have come to realize that it is one of my most cherished possessions. It is really nothing special, it is just a handmade frame with plywood backing and twisted old wire to mount it, the glass has imperfections and a little of the paint flakes off every time I give it a good clean........ but it is has reflected our lives since that day........ all the changes and life lessons that makes where we are today in this home that much sweeter.
And it is sweet. And finished.
