Doorways and Doorknobs....ever think of them as a "spiritual" thing??? (I will get to the *Daughter* part in a minute)
well.....they really can be, if you just think about it......
you put your hand on the doorknob of your home everyday...and "how" you enter thru the door is up to you...with a smile on your face and in your heart...or.....well, you get to choose!
I'd love to have a Doorway to a secret garden......
or enter the land of the faeries.......
you just have to use the right key.....one year ago today, I used the key to enter the Doorway of Despair....and the Dark night of my Soul. Our only Daughter was diagnosed with melanoma on this day... I thought I would never smile or be happy again. She had surgery and one lymph node was removed...the Dr. was very optimistic that it had not spread (it did not!!) Flash forward to today.... she got the great news that her chances of re-occurrence was 5%!
