Day 283: The loved and forgotten toy
The return of Picture of the Day! I have had a few months off with lack of inspiration to do this. In May my puppy tripped my mother, who in turn severely broke her ankle, necessary surgery and all. That sweet puppy then passed away suddenly due to a heart attack in recovery at the vet’s office, immediately after her spay surgery. So my world got rocked and my heart got broken.
Fast forward to my current state of mind, which is lightened and filled with the beauty of a rescue puppy, Daisy. I am inspired to photograph the mundane and insane, the cute and the catastrophic, the warm and the fuzzies in my life.
Today, on the fortieth walk to the back yard today for potty time, I spotted this sad but wonderful sight – a Bruder truck that my son has loved nearly to the point of no return. Battered, broken, covered in cobwebs, paint peeling, it sits proudly with grass growing around it in the yard. I know he’s played with it recently as it’s been moved from further back in the yard, but without that geographic relocation, I would have thought it was forgotten. It is not forgotten, it is loved.
