Monochrome is perfect for this day, as I had to say goodbye to my son who is leaving for five months of military training in the U.S. National Guard. As my girls also live away from home now, it means we officially have an empty nest.
And so the pictures you will see in this post - of a burned out home - are rather symbolic.
I walk past this house often. It burned down last winter, and my heart goes out to the family.
I did learn that everyone in the house survived, so I was very glad to learn of that. What a life altering experience. It reminds me to be appreciative of all that is good, and that I have my home and health and family.
I have never walked onto the property before, and I felt bad for trespassing. But it was so quiet. I almost felt as though my visit might make the place feel less lonely.
All around were the artifacts of lives halted.
A patio where string lights magically still remain.
A portable fire pit.
And across the lawn, an old boat trailer - reminiscent of family trips and enjoyment and happier times.
