The Table

Today I bought the most beautiful dining table. It is huge and has three leafs to it. It is beautiful. It is not something I could afford, but I had to have it…for what it represents to me…hopes and dreams.

It is a symbol for me. A symbol of all that I want and hope to have. It could easily fit 12 people…husband, children, grandparents…and always a spot for Jason. It is a place to gather around, share stories, eat together, laugh together, make memories together, do homework on, a craft table…share, celebrate, live. It represents the family I dream to have and the memories I hope to make. It is the life I thought I would have; that I have always dreamt of and now, with my health and single status, I am not sure will come to be.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Dining together is so important to me. It is a place for breaking bread together, sharing our days, our stories, our experiences, our feelings, our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams and our fears…it is a place where love is nurtured…a place where a house becomes a home and people become family.

All of this is symbolized by one beautiful, big dining table that I can’t really afford to have, but that I couldn’t afford not to have.

Hugs and Love,
Liz
