Between Four Walls

Between four walls where families meet. Sounds of laughter and tears and children’s feet. Beyond the fine carved mahogany walls, you’ll find the heart and soul of those who walked through the halls. Through sadness, through joy, through life and through death. Through laughter, through illness, through success and through regrets. The construction doesn’t stop when the last nail is hit, for the house may look finished, but the home is still being built. Because within those walls there lies the core, which changes and transforms as more people walk through the door. A treasure of memories, some good and some bad. Some stay and some move on but the memories stay in tact. So when you smell that smell and see that vision, of times once shared, and you sit and you listen, you can hear that sound of quirky laughter. You can see the room where family and friends used to gather. Remember to cherish those memories that four walls can bring. Remember how the sun would shine through the windows and warm up your skin. Remember the faces of people who would walk through those doors. Remember the memories it created and know that it will continue to make more. And as the keys are passed along and it’s no longer your own, know that you’ll always have those memories of your house you made a home.
