This is a wine rack. I have a nice memory attached to this wooden wine rack. My dad and I were out and about one day in El Paso. There was this store that hadn't been open very long and now that I think of it, it didn't stay open very long either. It was a store that had a variety of random items in it. My dad had been and told me about it and so one day we went. As we walked up and down the over stuffed isles of interesting clutter we came up this wine rack. I didn't need it, I liked it a lot. My dad bought it for me. I was so happy and thankful. I was daddy's little girl....what can I can.I miss him, is what I can say. I miss my daddy. This one of the memories that I hold tight to.
This wine rack has been on the wall at my 2nd ex husbands house for the last 6 years. I left it hanging along with so many other items. I didn't want to leave it but I could't take it with me, I had no space for it. I told Micah that if it was alright I would just leave it there along with my other wine items that decorated his walls at his house. It went well with the area that it hung. I told him that it was mine and that one day I would want it back. He promised that it would be okay to continue to hang on the wall until I was able to take it back.
He contacted me back in December and told me that he sold the house and that I would have to come get what I wanted that I had left at the house before the end of January. Last weekend Ben and I went to Micah's house to get my wine rack and a few other items. I ended up leaving behind so many things but they didn't have a place in my life anymore and I was okay with letting them go. The only item I was focused on getting back was my wine rack. I still don't have a place for it so that I can enjoy it at this moment, and sadly I will have to put it in storage until that day but I'm happy I have it back.
For the longest time it weighed on me that I still had part of my life out there in the walls of another house that I was no longer apart of and didn't want to be. Now I can truly walk away and have what I wanted from that life and keep moving forward, that brings such peace to my heart, and mind.
