Last summer I was lucky enough to tag a long with my Godmother to a house that had been abandoned for over fifty years.
My Godmother had over the years left letters “to whom it my concern,” in the mailbox, and often drove by in hopes of finding the owner. You see she had peeked into the windows and saw that the abandon house was full of leftover treasures. The note she left asked if the owner would like to sell anything inside the house, she was interested in buying everything.
Then one day, one lucky day, a “FOR SALE” sign went up in front of the house and my Godmother had her answer. Someone to contact.
The owner was surprised that my Godmother wanted to buy the “junk” as he called it. He rubbed his hands in glee and told her she could have it all on one condition, that she empty the place clean.
My Godmother found her dream come true and I took photos of a life that seem to stand still.
Have you ever longed for something knowing that in doing so it will come true? Or do you think more on the lines of, “Be careful what you wish for it might just come true?
Isn’t it curious how we live certain dreams and at the same time stack other dreams in neat piles for a day for them to come true. As if putting them aside we give them room to expand and nurture our imagination.
I believe that eventually that what we dream for does come true… one way or another.
