'I don’t mean to break promises, but life happens, we get busy, and things I always meant to do get left in the corner, forgotten.'
), the worst for me is the long list of broken promises I have made to my daughters. “I’ll give you one art lesson. I’ll take you on a trip. I’ll find it for you. I’ll fix that toy.” I don’t mean to break promises, but life happens, we get busy, and things I always meant to do get left in the corner, forgotten.
My most recent forgotten project is the dollhouse. It’s a beautiful, handmade wooden dollhouse with painted walls, a rooftop, and carpet installed in every room-patterned after my daughters’ grandparents’ home. I picked up the dollhouse years ago for my two oldest girls, who have since abandoned Barbies for boyfriends. Now my youngest wants to use it, except there’s a problem.
After lovingly being used over the years, the dollhouse needs some tender loving care. A fenced patio lost its fence, the painted walls are scuffed and dingy, and the black, textured rooftop is worn away. Sharp edges need to be filed down. When I moved into my new apartment after my divorce, the dollhouse was going to be the first project that I did for that first Christmas-and every Christmas after that.
