My last drive to the cottage, well, at least for this season. Who knows what next year will offer. I’ve been told by the owner, “Keep the keys and let’s hope for another win-win situation.” So, if life doesn’t change, I’ll be back in the fall.
But what a nonsensical comment. Of course life will change, for both of us. The question is: will it change in ways that will put barriers in front of another cottage-by-the-sea winter? Mom’s death last fall was a huge change in my life, but rather than preventing my return, the cottage became a place of grieving and healing for me.
I figure that if we both stay healthy, our win-win winning record will continue.
