The Library Pt. 1
Also known as the toy room when my grandparents lived here. I have to say out of all of the places in this house, this room was always my favorite, and still is today. Not because there were many toys in it though, but because it felt the least eerie, in my opinion. As a child, I would creep past the painting that hung on the wall at the top of the steps, looking over my shoulder to see the stern man with a ruffled brow starting back at me.

Last Saturday, we decided to fix the sink. It had been clogged for a few days & it was time to get it done.

To me, I’ll say that this year has been full, brimming with new life and not without its joys & sorrows. Through it all, everything seems to change except the blessings of new tomorrows & the love that’s shared among our family.

Though as surely as I know, I’ve walked another turn around this earth,…
