The Red Door
The Red Door
My five-year-old daughter loves to draw and color. Last year, she drew a lovely picture with a blue sky, green grass, a tall tree, and… a random red door. She always cherishes her masterpieces and loves to make other people feel loved by giving her treasures away. She decided to give this special piece of artwork to her aunt whom she loves dearly. The interesting part about it though was that her aunt with whom she shared the picture, recently lost her husband, my brother, due to suicide. After a particularly hard day, she told me that the picture meant so much to her, especially the red door, which she interpreted as the “doorway to heaven”. That struck me and as I walked away I immediately googled: “what does a red door mean?” 01/11/2023 23:00
