Another story to tell...

Today, I catch myself thinking once again about how so many old broken down buildings would have such an important story to share with us if they could talk about their past. I blogged about "Stories to tell: back in April, 2018, but feel compelled to revisit this, as it applies to all of us in so many different ways. 

 The picture featured here is just one of many viewed as I searched the internet this morning. I was also quite interested to read some of the stories shared by others, who grew up with one or more of these buildings in their past. One such story was shared by an elderly woman, who grew up on the farm and helped caring for the family cows, which were often in their barn. The stalls had to be cleaned each day as part of her chores. It was heartwarmng to read about all of the memories that barn could have shared about activities, and conversations, which took place inside of it during those many years in the past! Most likely, she grew up with memories of grandparents, or even great-grandparents, who long ago passed on. She talked about the family making the decision to demolish the barn to clear the land and when the day came to demolish it she had very strong hessitation due to it's significant past! I totally agree! How often have we caught ourselves thinking about our past loved ones and who we have such vivid memories about, just like these  barns!
