Sacred Site

I think all families have their sacred sites. This is one of ours, a shack we spent lots of time at on the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA. I almost couldn’t bear to look, fearing that it would no longer be there. It was.

She says they have misappeared. “They went into mummy’s dressing gown pocket and they misappeared”. For a couple of days she cried at bedtime, missing her dummies and thinking aloud about all the times they would not be there: in the car, going to bed and lying on the couch without the comfort of her dummies.
